TL;DR: Grounded in four theoretical positions, the present review demonstrates the empirical evidence for the incremental validity of narrative identity as a cross-sectional indicator and prospective predictor of well-being, compared with other individual difference and situational variables.

TL;DR: A model posits that obsessive passion produces conflict between work and other life activities because the person cannot let go of the work activity, while harmonious passion is expected to prevent conflict while positively contributing to work satisfaction and obsessive passion predicted an increase of conflict.

TL;DR: Results showed that a harmonious passion was positively associated with the quality of interpersonal relationships within the context of the passionate activity, whereas an obsessive passion was unrelated to it, and in line with the broaden-and-build theory.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the differences in well-being between passionate and non-passionate individuals of various age groups and found that only harmoniously passionate people experienced an increase in subjective vitality over a 1-year period compared to obsessively passionate and nonsmooth people who did not differ from each other.

TL;DR: It is suggested that, cross-culturally, prioritizing intrinsic life goals is related to increased well-being among adolescents and that parents could encourage intrinsic life Goals by being supportive of their children’s autonomy.
