Though it is derived from individual thriving, community thriving cannot be reduced to the aggregate of individual experiences. Rather, community thriving is defined as the function of a community’s sustainability and its effectiveness at producing well-being outcomes.

The chapter concludes with specific historical illustrations and steps readers can take to enhance the thriving of their own communities.
