Luck in Psychology
Luck is more than the absence of bad luck, like health is more than the absence of illness.
The german term for luck 'Glück' can additionally be translated as happiness and well-being.
Psychology differentiates between two concepts of Glück:
- Hedonic Happiness
- Eudaimonic Happiness

2. EH - Eudaimonic Happiness
Eudaimonism can be translated with the 'divine inner self'. It is about the pursuit to live a meaningful and fulfilling life.
Happiness is derived from finding a sense of purpose, living in accordance to one's core-values (authenticity), reaching one's best potential (excellency) and having a positive impact on the world.
It focus more on long-term well-being.
Examples
- Good overall health
- Defining your own success
- Strong and deep relationships
- Life long learning and progress

Hedonic vs. Eudaimonic Happiness
What's better?
Psychology doesn't like horse-race comparisons. Both concepts aren't contradictory, but complementary. To understand this we apply both concepts on workplaces.

Happinness comes from Balance
Pleasure as well as purpose are important to live a happy life.
Synergise both in creating good habits. A joyful reward after 'eating the daily frog' task.
The world isn't black and white, it's full of colours. Learn to see these to reach balance. It all starts with your perception.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
