Eudaimonic Pursuits Give Sustained Feeling Of Well-Being
- Both eudaimonic and hedonic happiness contribute to overall life satisfaction, but eudaimonic seems to provide a far more sustained effect.
- That's because hedonic forms of happiness tend to provide only fleeting bursts of wellbeing, and the more hedonic activities you engage in, the more their positive effect on mood becomes muted.
- Eudaimonic pursuits (such as nurturing a hobby, starting an exercise program, or learning a language) are of goal-driven activities, which realize personal talents and potential, evoke happiness that tends to stick around, raising overall wellbeing.
