Euzoia
juːˈzɔɪə/ — from Greek εὖ (eu, “good”) + ζωή (zoē, “life”); meaning “a state of good living”
What is a life well lived? A good life?
There are two answers to this, both equally valid:
A) It’s a deep mystery, a dance, a journey that in itself is the goal.
B) It’s a subject of science, and by now we know a lot about it.
Euzoia.org is a project dedicated to B) without forgetting about A).
Euzoia is distilling the science of what makes a good life down to basic principles.
Euzoia is then taking those principles and helps embedding those in day to day life.
And one of those principles will probably related to A): To be curious, to wonder.
This substack will share these principles. One each week. And then repeat them, every year. Because we know these principles anyway already. But we need reminders to engage with them, to see how they fit in our lives, to take small actions each time.
Well said! I like how you think about this.
