It is a very interesting subject. I noticed that you tend to have (half) sentences and then points. This is useful in some instances, but I feel as though it is only half a thought (if that makes sense?)

For an example of how to make these sentences, see your overview (I would try to explain to the reader why this is important to them, get them to invest in your chapter: Why should I read this? How is this relevant to me?) and below:


 * Philosophies: Most philosophies, such as Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, have (elements of) something similar to eudaimonia (Cheng & Ho, 2013).

Not sure I understand where you are going or what you mean in this paragraph, but it seems incomplete:

•	self-determination theory •	virtue ethics •	inward goals •	intrinsic motivation
 * Virtue ethics: The theory of intrinsic motivation is a large part of eudaimonia. Because

Please review your conclusion as well - it is currently just a list of points. Try turning this into a paragraph and have a box underneath for key points that you can move this list into.

I would tweaked this sentence – see figure location and move the second second to the intro....
 * The term eudaimonia originated in Ancient Greece and was first proposed by Plato and Aristotle (Figure 1), two philosophers in the Classical Period of Ancient Greece (Irwin, 1985).

Review this sentence from become to achieve?
 * Eudaimonia is a complex subject and there are many theories on how to become (achieve) eudaimonic.

Add ideas together instead of small sentences:

(please make sure information/facts are correct first!)
 * Instead of: Many psychological theories have similarities to eudaimonia. The most well-known is Maslow's theory of self-actualization. Positive psychology also involves eudaimonia. Virtue ethics are also relevant.
 * Try: Many psychological theories have similarities to eudaimonia, such as positive psychology, Maslow's theory of self-actualization and virtue ethics.

Hope these points help some. Best of luck. --U3167879 (discuss • contribs) 01:18, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Expanding upon what you have
Hi, I really like what you have so far for your topic. I feel like some areas can be expanded upon to better answer your topic question. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Veronika-Huta/publication/264932700_The_Complementary_Roles_of_Eudaimonia_and_Hedonia_and_How_They_Can_Be_Pursued_in_Practice/links/53f601070cf2888a7492252c/The-Complementary-Roles-of-Eudaimonia-and-Hedonia-and-How-They-Can-Be-Pursued-in-Practice.pdf https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%252Fs10902-011-9249-7

Are both by Veronika Huta, and they expand more upon how to develop eudaimonia, both conciously and also how it may be instilled in us by our role models as children. Particularly the second article I feel would really benefit your article as it seems to be missing any acknowledgement that these types of thinking patterns can be instilled in us unconciously. --U3187741 (discuss • contribs) 23:58, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
