The article attempts to integrate a number of concepts related to individual well-being into a single research approach. The authors define individual well-being as the level and features of satisfaction of various significant needs, which can be both subjectively relevant to it and objectively important for successful functioning in various fields of individual life. The integral approach generalizes concepts from classical and modern works: subjective well-being, psychological well-being, social well-being, physical well-being, and material well-being. As a key proposed category of resourcefulness — a dynamic state determined by the effectiveness of managing four key types of resources (physical, psychological, material, social) and the subjective assessment of the achieved results. In this context, two ideal models of the deployment of the dynamic state of resourcefulness are described: 1) the hedonic model, in which successful resource management leads to self-assessment of life achievements and the ultimate goal — life for one's own satisfaction; 2) the eudaemonic model, in which resources are directed toward the implementation of a "greater goal" that may conflict with personal comfort and involves a willingness to make sacrifices. Special attention is paid to vitality as a cross-cutting, energy-motivational basis of both models, linking objective vital forces with subjective value orientations. Also, the role of the value component and the hierarchy of life priorities in determining a specific life trajectory is emphasized. The work is programmatic in nature and lays the conceptual foundations for further empirical study of indicators of individual well-being in Ukrainian society during the war and the post-war period, while offering universal theoretical provisions applicable across diverse social contexts
