#50: Happiness: More than just feeling good? - Eudaimonic wellbeing – Professor Joar Vittersø

What is Happiness? Is happiness more than just feeling good? What do different people mean when they use the word happiness? What did ancient philosophers like Aristotle mean when they used the word happiness?

 

Joar Vittersø is a professor in Psychology and have spent many years studying and researching the ancient concept of Eudaimonia. He is also the editor of The Oxford Handbook of Eudaimonic Wellbeing which I highly recommend if you want to get a better grasp of what Eudaimonia is.

 

I really enjoyed my conversation with Joar and hope you will too.
