A good place to start

The New Economics Foundation (NEF) was commissioned in 2008 by the UK Government's Foresight Project on Mental Capital and Well-being to review the interdisciplinary work of over 400 scientists from across the world.

The aim was to identify a set of evidenced-based actions to improve well-being, which individuals would be encouraged to build into their daily lives.

They came up with Five Ways to Well-being:

Connect
Be active
Take Notice
Keep learning
Give
I thought it summed things up nicely, so it'll be my starting point.
