Eudaimonia (yoo-dai-MOH-nee-uh) (noun): A Greek word meaning “human flourishing” or “living in alignment with your highest self.”
Eudaimonia doesn’t mean chasing happiness. It’s deeper—it’s about living a life that feels right, not just one that feels good. The kind of wellbeing that comes from purpose, integrity, and knowing you’re using your full potential.
“Eudaimonia, for Aristotle, is the highest human good—the state of living well, not through constant pleasure, but through virtue, purpose, and growth.”
SMARTER INSIGHT
Modern psychology circles back to this ancient idea. True wellness isn’t a spa day—it’s alignment between your values, actions, and goals. You feel fulfilled not when everything’s easy, but when you’re becoming who you’re meant to be.
USE IT TODAY
Ask yourself: What choice today feels most aligned with my better self? Do that, and you’ll be living a little more eudaimonically.
