Eudimonology and the Purpose of Life

The podcast episode explores the concept of eudimonology, the ultimate game of life according to ancient wisdom and modern science. Eudimonia, translated as 'good soul' or 'flourishing', is seen as the purpose of life by both Aristotle and Martin Seligman, the founder of positive psychology. The key to achieving eudimonia is practicing virtue or excellence, which involves expressing the best within oneself moment to moment. The podcast highlights the significance of virtue as the underpinning of achieving eudimonia and emphasizes the need to shift one's focus away from the distractions and vices of modern society in order to align with this ultimate purpose.
