Eudemonia Perspective
The eudaimonic perspective on happiness and well-being, rooted in ancient Aristotelian philosophy and operationalized by modern positive psychologists like Carol Ryff and Alan Waterman, emphasizes human flourishing, self-realization, and the pursuit of meaning and purpose over mere hedonic pleasure. As a core sub-topic under UNIT X of the UP PGT Psychology curriculum, it bridges humanistic psychology, cognitive-behavioral adaptation, and holistic assessment of psychological health.
