Beyond Material Comfort: A Community-Centric Housing Model (Collines) to Address Loneliness Among Financially Secure Older and Single Adults

  Beyond Material Comfort: A Community-Centric Housing Model (Coll ines) to Address Loneliness Among Financially Secure Older and Single Adults Abstract Material prosperity does not guarantee emotional well-being. A growing segment of financially secure middle-class individuals—particularly those aged 55 and above, parents with children settled abroad, and unmarried adults—experience chronic loneliness, weakened social bonds, and declining psychological health. This paradox reflects a structural transformation in family systems, urban housing design, and migration patterns rather than an economic deficiency. This paper develops a structured socio-economic and psychological analysis of loneliness among financially stable populations and proposes an innovative housing framework — the Colinese One-Room Community Living Model . The model integrates private micro-units with structured shared facilities to foster companionship, security, affordability, and purposeful engagement. The pape...

PREFACE

In an era where commerce is often seen as a battleground of profit margins, branding wars, and digital dominance, Vyāpār Sūtra invites the reader to pause — and return to the sacred origins of trade.

This book is not merely an economic or strategic narrative. It is a drama of values and vision, woven from the ancient wisdom of the Ramayan, the philosophical strength of our Shastras, and the dynamic insights of modern business practices. It journeys through the mystical realms of gemology, the practicalities of global trade, the pursuit of quality, and the psychological need for balance in decision-making.

Here, Dharma does not stand apart from strategy — it is the strategy. Here, quality control meets karma, and emotional intelligence balances statistical data.

This book is for thinkers, educators, entrepreneurs, spiritual seekers, and students of management alike — anyone curious to explore how the sacred and the strategic can coexist, not just in theory but in practical, powerful ways.

Let this be your sutra — your thread — to weave together commerce and consciousness.
