  • Summary

  • The ancient Greeks were good for a lot of things.  Who knew that they had coined a term for living our best and most fulfilled life?!  That whacky Aristotle and is crazy ideas!  Unfortunately, our modern psychological science has been preoccupied for hundreds of years with the opposite question:  Why people don't do what is best for them?  By looking at the most current research into Quality of Life, and utilizing Aristotle's concept of Eudaimonia, Carol Ryff has developed an evidentiary base of the factors that lead to living our most fulfilled life.  In this episode, we look at an overview of her research, and the key ideas.  In subsequent episodes, we'll look at each factor in turn and see what we can learn about living our best lives.  Stick around!
