What is a good life?
Do you ever wonder what makes a good life or how to make the most of your remaining days?
Research shows that a good life is often linked to happiness or a sense of meaning. A happy life is connected to things like contentment, joy, security, and stability, often including financial security, close relationships, and an optimistic mindset. Personal satisfaction plays a central role. A meaningful life, on the other hand, is linked to a greater purpose, coherence, and principles - life seems to have a more purpose than just the pursuit of personal happiness. Meaningful life aims to make a (societal) impact.
