More about the book
The book contends that positive psychology has neglected the insights of ancient Greek philosophers regarding wellbeing. It posits that true wellbeing is not centered on pleasure or the mere pursuit of happiness, but rather on finding meaning and addressing the profound challenge of seeking transcendence in life. Through this lens, it redefines the understanding of wellbeing by integrating timeless wisdom with contemporary thought.
