Eight weeks of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, followed by two monthly classes, improves both cognitive and affective aspects of subjective well-being and eudaimonic well-being in healthy community residents with initially low life satisfaction. Cognitive well-being and mindfulness skills improved significantly by 8 weeks, and these gains continued through the 16-week follow-up. Positive affect and eudaimonic well-being showed significant improvement only at 16 weeks. The order of improvement was cognitive, then positive affective, then eudaimonic well-being.
