"Eudaimonia, or the notion that one's being is 'drawn by nature toward the highest good, ' is an ancient philosophy that today informs the field of positive psychology. The Best Within Us explores the many ways the philosophic concept of eudaimonia is being employed in psychology, specifically in the study of flourishing and the fulfillment of potentials, identity development, happiness, and well-being. For the individual, eudaimonic functioning contributes not only to quality of life but also to caring, intimate personal relationships and to engagement in prosocial activities. This book is for psychologists, philosophers, and educators who are interested in the moral and motivational aspects of happiness. It will also be a valuable resource for graduate students seeking research ideas pertaining to quality of life."--Back cover.
