Être is probably the most common verb in French, and it means “to be.” According to the online Collin’s Dictionary, Bien-être means “the welfare of a person or group is their health, comfort, and happiness.” That means the term refers to our mental well-being and its importance. Such welfare that focuses on nourishing one’s health, comfort, and happiness, enables an improved emotional state and better social interactions.
