No Customer Reviews
The Best Within Us explores the many ways the philosophic concept of eudaimonia is being employed in psychology. Eudaimonia is an ancient philosophy that today informs the field of positive psychology, specifically in the study of flourishing and the fulfillment of potentials, identity development, happiness, and well-being. Eudaimonic functioning not only yields quality of life benefits to the individual, it also contributes to caring, intimate personal relationships, and engagement in prosocial activities. This book is for personality and social psychologists with teaching and research interests in positive psychology, happiness, well-being, self-acceptance and self-esteem, identity, meaning in life, self-determination and autonomy, and motivation. It is also for graduate students seeking research ideas pertaining to quality of life.
