Paneugenesis

To capture the transformation to a focus on generating improvements, to make it better than it was before, a new, descriptive, word, a neologism, is needed. Paneugenesis(1) is the new word: Pan- means all, eu- means good or well, and -genesis means creating. A direct translation means creating all good. Paneugenesis is the origins or genesis of good things. Paneugenesis is selfless, selfless, synergistic actions that create the best outcomes for all parties. Byproducts of these actions are pervasive, reciprocal benefits from the good outcomes of others.

These good outcomes then create a ripple that can continue to spread. Good actions create the emotion of elevation. Research suggests that elevation is experienced when individuals see others perform positive actions and the feeling of elevation inspires them to also engage in positive, helpful actions.1)( In other words, paneugenesis actions should inspire others to create good and make creating better the default. The result would be a better world with win-win-win interactions from its implementation.

The model for using paneugenesis in health promotion is provided in the American Journal of Health Promotion, Art of Health Promotion article, issue 31, volume 5 on page 451-453. A YouTube video explaining the paneugenesis model is available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dndwnDkh-nE
