Do you want to learn about research on Human Flourishing?
What is known about Human Flourishing worldwide?
The concept of human flourishing has emerged through continuous research into questions that have accompanied humans and their societies throughout their evolution and history. Multiple authors have sought meaning to questions such as: How does one live well? Is living well or well-being an idea that was created or taught? Is it felt or intuited? Is it practiced or improved through training? Are there necessary conditions for happiness? Are these conditions the same for everyone, passed through indoctrination or taught through example?
These varied questions gradually gave rise to the concept of human flourishing, which developed not only to provide a definition for happiness but also to study and establish samplings, statistics, and quantitative studies to ensure the positive development of individuals and society. This makes the study of human flourishing multidisciplinary and multidirectional.
We invite you to explore all the resources in this section, where you will discover material for reflection, bibliometric studies, and general knowledge created by our research department and institutions worldwide.
The research department develops resources, tools, and articles to generate knowledge around our institution's significant "why", always grounded in the scientific and humanistic rigor characteristic of the Tec de Monterrey.

touch_app Love as a concept in academic research: A bibliometric review
Love is a key topic in a variety of disciplines, from the social and biological sciences to the humanities. However, despite consistent empirical findings on the impacts of various aspects of love on well-being, theorizing on this topic remains a work in progress, with considerable fragmentation and debate. Against such a broad picture, this article offers a productive way forward in the form of a bibliometric exploration of the scientific literature on love, identifying and understanding the patterns in how scholars have been using the term 'love' in scientific research.
