[1]Figuring Out 'The Good Life'
The idea of the "good life" is a core idea of philosophy, often
described with a single Greek word, eudaimonia (there's your new
word for the day, most likely). It simply means aiming for the
highest human good - the good life, in other words.
Those pictures, and the others that were shared, all point to rather
different day to day lives, even though they all have a few things
in common. Rather than rattle on a lot about what elements would
make up my idea of the good life, I was actually more interested in
what elements are commonly found in the ideas of the good life that
lots of people shared with me, so I thought about those stories and
asked a few others what they thought the "good life" was.

The article touches on many concepts that, unsurprisingly, ancient
philosophers also documented. What I appreciate is Trent's typically
through tie back to the site's themes about personal finance.
I'm bookmarking, PDFing to my Kindle, and then taking some time to
really dig into this and what it can mean for me.
