Young Adults’ Meaning in Life, Self-Compassion, Sleep Quality, and Exercise Satisfaction Predict Well-Being

Meaning in life was a unique predictor of happiness, life satisfaction, and self-rated mental health cross-sectionally and was the only unique predictor of well-being (happiness) longitudinally.
