What is Eudaimonia?

From the great Greek thinkers through modern times, Eudaimonia has been translated and interpreted in many ways. Literally, it means "good spirit". Some define it simply as "happiness", which leads to many interpretations. Yet, it harbors a deeper meaning into the human experience.

Like when we plant a garden, we give the plants good, nutritious soil, water, sunlight, and all the elements they need to become the best plant they can be. Then our garden flourishes. So it is with humans. Yet, instead of beautiful flowers or abundance of fruits/nuts/vegetables, humans can experience the abundance of life - joy, understanding, health and wellbeing, and the loving relationships for which humans are designed. We become more than the sum of our parts. This is not earned nor something that we must be born into - this is our potential simply for existing.

At Eudaimonia Counseling and Wellness, we embrace this call for living a vibrant and flourishing life. With commitment and effort, you can unlock the best version of yourself and tend to your eudaimonia. Welcome to your journey of living well!
