Eudaimonia
εὐδαιμονίαyoo-dye-moh-NEE-ah
Foundational
Human flourishing. The deep satisfaction of functioning as you were meant to function, living in alignment with your nature and purpose.
Modern Application
Eudaimonia isn't happiness in the shallow sense. You experience it when your work connects to meaning, when you're developing your full potential, and when your daily actions align with your deepest values. It's what you're actually pursuing when you think you're chasing success.
