About this listen
In this episode, we explore the difference between hedonic happiness—pleasure and comfort in the present moment—and eudaimonic happiness—meaning, purpose, and long-term fulfillment. Together, we reflect on how both forms of happiness are essential, yet incomplete on their own. Drawing on Aristotle’s Golden Mean, we consider how true flourishing comes from balancing pleasure with purpose, action with reflection, and self-care with contribution. We examine practical ways to integrate both types of happiness into our daily lives, relationships, and creative work. Through thoughtful reflection and small adjustments, we see how balance becomes a skill we can cultivate over time. Ultimately, we affirm that when we intentionally combine joy and meaning, we create a life that is resilient, aligned, and deeply fulfilling.
