**4. Wellness**

In parallel with the increased focus on health assets within the healthcare literature, there has been an increased focus on the concept of wellness as a way of moving towards health-promoting behaviours. Wellness has been defined by McMahon and Fleury [36] as:

A purposeful process of individual growth, integration of experience, and meaningful connections with others, reflecting personally valued goals and strength, and resulting in being well and living values. (p. 48)

The idea of 'living values' clearly addresses the comment made by Manathunga in the introduction to this paper, whilst 'meaningful connections with others' is a necessary prerequisite for the mapping of shared assets (such as personal traits or disciplinary skills) mentioned above.
