Episode Synopsis

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.         References/Sources https://positivepsychology.com/hedonic-vs-eudaimonic-wellbeing/#examples https://www.amazon.com/Little-Book-Happiness-Simple-Practices-ebook/dp/B07SNRK9C7/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3MK24E4ICC11E&keywords=the+little+book+of+happiness&qid=1692070927&sprefix=little+book+happiness%2Caps%2C151&sr=8-4 https://rashidfaridi.com/2020/05/06/hedonic-and-eudaimonic-wellbeing/
