Overall, this is a promising, but fairly basic chapter.
Overview - consider building on the sub-title by presenting focus questions to help guide the reader and the chapter structure.
The chapter could benefit from further development of the Overview and Conclusion - it should be possible to only read these sections and get a good sense of why the topic is important and what is known/recommended.
For additional feedback, see following comments and these copyedits.
Promising approach to discussion of ingredients, but I think the selection of ingredients could be improved. For example, health could be considered.
The second half of the section about personality wasn't about personality.
Self-esteem: It is unclear whether it is being argued that SE causes LS, or vice-versa, or whether they are just correlated. Clarify. Note the Reeve (2018) critique that SE doesn't predict much (cf [1]).
Culture: This section could be renamed "social support" or "social engagement" and re-written to reflect this focus, since it is one of the major contributors to LS.
Discussion of relevant theories is embedded within the research-focused description of the different predictors of LS. More stand-alone emphasis could be placed on the LS itself.
Several claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the [factual?] tags).
When describing important research findings, consider including a bit more detail about the methodology and indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
Basic use of interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding more interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text more interactive.
No use of embedded links to related book chapters. Embedding links links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
Very basic use of images.
No use of tables.
No use of feature boxes.
Basic use of quizzes.
The quiz questions could be more effective as learning prompts by being embedded as single questions within each corresponding section rather than being presented as a set of questions at the end.

The presentation is fun, easy to follow, and interesting to watch and listen to.
The presentation makes effective use of text and animated image based slides with narrated audio.
Well paced. Excellent pauses between sentences. This helps the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point.
The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read.
The visual communication is effectively supplemented by images.
