Which Happiness Do You Need More Of?
If you’re feeling the tug of discontent but can’t figure out why, it might be as simple as your happiness mix. The ancient Greeks had terms for different kinds of happiness, with some emphasizing the value of present-oriented experiences that bring pleasure & joy (hedonistic) and others emphasizing the value of future-oriented activities that contribute towards your values & purpose (eudaimonic). Studies into sustained happiness have found we all naturally err more toward one kind of happiness, but a mix of both is what’s important. So which kind of happiness do you need a little more of in your life right now?
Wishing you happiness,
