Okay now, so what the heck is Eudaemonia, you ask? Well, let's check the dictionary. Hmm... let's see... okay, well, so your local dictionary doesn't have a listing there. Don't worry, I've got an encyclopedia here and this is what it says:
(1) Eudaemon /ü-dë'man/ n. A benevolent spirit or genius.
(2) Eudaemonia /ü-dë'mö'nëa/ n. A state of complete well-being, as defined by the philosophy of Aristotle; good fortune; true happiness as arising from a rational satisfaction.
(3) Eudaemonic /ü-dëmon'ik/ adj. Of, pertaining to, or tending to produce happiness; concerned or done for the sake of happiness.
(4) Eudaemonism /ü-dë'ma-niz-am/ n. The doctrine that happiness or welfare, as defined by a reasonable man, is the chief good.
