In recent years, expectations to pursue happiness have shifted to well-being-a conceptthat has been increasingly taken up by the field of positive psychology and mental healthorganizations in North America. I use critical discourse analysis to examine four mentalhealth and well-being texts: Martin Seligman's Flourish, a Bell Let's Talk advertisement,and two Canadian Mental Health Association brochures. By embodying traces of theeudaimonic tradition that links well-being to particular ways of living, ways of thinking,and emotion management, these discourses psychologize and individualize emotion byproducing a depoliticized, responsible, and normative subject. With their insistence onresponsibility, balance, and resiliency, I argue that these discourses support neoliberalismand its inherent violence by disciplining readers to think of their emotions primarily inindividualized terms. By doing so, these discourses center mental health in a way thatrenders ongoing structural inequities peripheral to the cultivation of personal well-being.
