Respondents who were spread across all age groups from 18 and up, ranked emotional and mental well-being as the most important factor in quality of life, ahead of economic stability and job security. This was followed by financial stability, and then physical health and well-being.
Though job security, inflation and the high cost of raising a child were listed as top concerns among respondents, they defined quality of life primarily through mental well-being and financial stability.
The authors said, "These results call attention to a significant shift in how Singapore residents define quality of life (and) reflects a growing recognition that psychological resilience and emotional balance are central to daily life satisfaction, more important than the popular perception that Singapore residents are only absorbed in one-dimensional material gain."
So, we want to hear from you – Do you think emotional and mental well-being is the key to a good life in Singapore?

YAHOO POLL: Is the key to a good life in Singapore emotional and mental well-being?
Career and material success used to be the key indicators of a good life in Singapore. However, it seems that times are changing, and while they are still indicators of a good life here, the definition of quality of life has shifted to non-material goods, with people prioritising well-being, mental health and work-life balance to cope better in a complex and fast-paced city.

The campaign reinforces the company's aim to feature as a trusted partner in fulfilling life's long-term promises and marks the next chapter in this partnership through a high-impact 360° marketing rollout. Rooted in the brand's philosophy of being a 'Promises ka Partner', the campaign features two engaging films that highlight deeply personal reflections between Jasprit and Sanjana. The campaign films portray promises not just as words, but as enduring commitments that shape families, futures, and legacies. In the TVC, Jasprit contemplates the fleeting nature of fame and how the value of personal commitments, particularly those made to a life partner, stay strong. Sanjana's presence in the narrative offers emotional balance and connection, underscoring the power of mutual support in long-term planning. Both narratives are anchored in authenticity, trust, and emotional foresight- values that align closely with Canara HSBC Life Insurance's aim in helping individuals plan and protect their futures. Speaking about the campaign, Mr. Rishi Mathur, Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Distribution Officer- Alternate Channels, Canara HSBC Life Insurance, said: "At Canara HSBC Life Insurance our aim is to engage audiences with stories that reflect real-life aspirations and move beyond transactional conversations around insurance. Jasprit and Sanjana bring this to life beautifully, not just as public figures, but as a couple navigating life's promises together. Through this campaign, we continue to strengthen our commitment to being a dependable partner in those promises." Jasprit Bumrah, while commenting on the campaign launch, said, "Canara HSBC Life Insurance's philosophy of being a 'Promises ka Partner' resonates with me on a personal level. In both cricket and life, it's the long-term commitments, ones made quietly and upheld consistently, that truly define you. The films reflect this idea, showing how promises made to loved ones are not just emotional in nature, but foundational to a future that is secure. It's a message I believe in deeply." Shoojit Sircar, Director of the brand films, said, "It was really great to work with Jasprit and Sanjana, it was lovely to bring out a side of their relationship, their partnership which hasn't been seen before. I think with these films we were able to showcase the brand promise in a very simple and charming way. What made this possible was the brand's clarity and their trust in the process. Working with Canara HSBC Life Insurance & Pravis felt less like a usual campaign and more like a lovely partnership."

WNBA star Caitlin Clark says a kid-friendly ritual helps her manage stress
Caitlin Clark, 23, enjoys a good old Disney movie whenever she wants to unwind. The WNBA star's pregame ritual also involves journaling and listening to calming music. But "there's no better rest and recovery than just straight up sleeping," she said. Caitlin Clark handles a high-pressure game the same way a parent might soothe a meltdown: with some calming music and a Disney movie. During an All-Star Weekend event held in Indianapolis on Saturday, the WNBA star spoke to Glamour about how she takes care of her mental and physical health as a pro athlete. Clark said that one of her favorite ways to manage stress is rewatching Disney classics. "The other day I watched 'The Parent Trap,' which literally never gets old, even though I know every single word in it," Clark, 23, said. Even though the latest season of "Love Island" was a viral hit, the basketball player says it's just not her thing. "I watched the first episode but couldn't get into it. Maybe it was too cringe for me? And it takes a lot of time — there's a new episode like every single day! I just couldn't do it." Instead of blasting hard-hitting tunes, her pre-game ritual is all about calming melodies or no music at all. The Indiana Fever player also enjoys journaling before each game, a habit that helps her clear her head and stay focused on her goal. "It makes me really intentional about what I want to accomplish and is a good reset if I'm feeling nervous or anxious about the game, to kind of wipe that away," she said. Whenever she can, Clark unwinds with a round of golf. While traveling for games, she also takes evening walks and tries new restaurants with her teammates. Being in the public eye isn't easy, and that's why she also checks in regularly with the sports psychologist on staff. "I don't just talk about things that stress me out but also the joys in my life, and that's always a good reminder and reset for me," Clark said. But her favorite tip for staying in tip-top shape? A good night's rest. "I've obviously done everything under the sun, but there's no better rest and recovery than just straight up sleeping," Clark said. As she recovers from a groin injury, she said she has come to truly understand the value of self-care. "This is the first time I haven't felt like a young body that can run around and sprint every day and just continue to do that," Clark said. "Being a professional athlete, you really have to take care of both your body and your mind — it's been a journey learning about that." As of Tuesday, Clark has missed 11 regular-season games due to various injuries, per ESPN. She never missed a game during her four years playing for the University of Iowa or during her rookie WNBA season in 2024. Clark isn't the only athlete who has spoken about the ways they cope with the pressure and take care of their health. Simone Biles said she saw her therapist ahead of the 2024 Olympic gymnastics team final, where she and her team went on to win gold. "At the beginning of the day, I started off with therapy this morning, so that was super exciting. I told her I was feeling calm and ready and that's kind of exactly what happened," Biles said to reporters after the competition. Masters champion Rory McIlroy says he overcomes performance anxiety by visualizing the worst-case scenario. "For whatever reason, imagining the worst-case scenario gave me a level of comfort because I felt like any worst-case scenario that I could bring up in my head, I'd be able to deal with," he said during an April appearance on "The Whoop Podcast." A representative for Clark did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours. Read the original article on Business Insider
