Flourishing: The Greeks Got It, And So Can You
Human flourishing involves the rational use of one’s individual human potentialities, including talents, abilities, and virtues in the pursuit of his freely and rationally chosen values and goals. ~ Edward W. Younkins The notion of living the good life can be traced back to the ancient Greek philosophers — to Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and Epicurus. These ancient thinkers revered the concept of "eudaimonia," a classical Greek word commonly translated as happiness, well-being, or flourishing.
