Episode 3171:
Colin Wright explores the ancient philosophical concept of eudaemonia in his article, shedding light on its relevance to modern life and personal development. Through a contrast with hedonism, Wright delves into how striving for eudaemonia involves seeking a deeper, more sustainable form of happiness through virtue and self-improvement, rather than fleeting pleasures.
Read along with the original article(s) here: https://exilelifestyle.com/eudaemonia/
Quotes to ponder:
"Eudaemonia can be seen as a metric by which one can measure the relative goodness or positivity of their life."
"Hedonism states, in essence, that pleasure and happiness are the main purpose of any person’s life."
"Eudaemonia, in contrast, focuses less on pleasure-related happiness and more on a broad sense of wellness."
