For thousands of years humans have been concerned with figuring out what it means to live the “good life”. The earliest philosophical texts from ancient China and Greece are focused on this question, and this question has occupied philosophers and thinkers from antiquity up to our modern day. When we look at what philosophy, science, and religion have to say about living the “good life" we find that happiness and fulfillment don't come through quick fixes or new age spiritual technologies. Living the good life is relatively simple, but it isn’t easy; it requires effort, focus, and commitment.
