  • Summary

  • In episode 13 get ready to redefine your understanding of happiness and discover the dynamic equation that leads us to a more enriched existence.

    Hedonic happiness is about maximizing what feels good and minimizing what doesn't.

    Eudaimonic well-being is based on the idea that real happiness comes from personal growth and a sense of purpose. It's like living a life that's true to who you are and fulfills your potential.

    For true happiness in life, we need a balance of both. 

    We unravel the intricate interplay between hedonic and eudaimonic well-being, understanding how seeking pleasure and pursuing personal growth intertwine to create a fulfilling life.
