What Really Makes a Good Day? | Philosophy, Psychology & the Quiet Art of Living
Most people don’t know a good day until it’s over. No disasters, no dread, just a faint sense of ease that only shows up in hindsight.
But when we ask what makes a day good, we’re really asking something deeper:
How do we measure our time? And what do we think life is for?
In this video, we explore ancient philosophy, modern psychology, and everyday experience to unpack what a “good day” actually means. Not in terms of productivity or pleasure—but in terms of alignment, presence, and meaning.
From Aristotle’s eudaimonia to Epicurus’ quiet pleasures…
From Stoic resilience to Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s flow…
From Viktor Frankl’s search for meaning to Montaigne’s bowel movements and essays…
Not a self-help checklist. A slow meditation on what it means to live well, even briefly.
