Aaron Antonovsky

Aaron Antonovsky was a medical sociologist best known for his work on the concept of "salutogenesis," which focuses on factors that support human health and well-being rather than just those that cause disease. He introduced the idea of a "Sense of Coherence," a mindset that helps people manage stress and promote resilience. Antonovsky believed that understanding how people stay healthy, even in difficult situations, could lead to better health outcomes. His work emphasized the importance of social, psychological, and environmental factors in health, shifting the focus from illness to the overall promotion of well-being.
