In "The Moral Landscape," Sam Harris argues that well-being is intrinsically linked to "good" because it relates to the quality of conscious experiences.

He proposes that what contributes to the well-being of individuals, and by extension societies, can be objectively studied and understood, even though the term "good" itself is not derived from any metaphysical source.
