Eudaimonia

I just learned a very good word.

Eudaimonia means “human flourishing” in Greek. I learned it from Alain de Botton, who wrote about how the the study of “The Art of Travel” (the title of his book on the subject) could contribute to it.

I like the concept of eudaimonia – the idea of a world set up for humans to be the most/best/happiest/most competent that they can be – and I like also the idea of studying something so as to contribute to it :)
