Holistic Eudaimonia represents our lives within our Milky Way galaxy, on a tiny blue planet. We are but a figure gazing at the universe in wonder. It is the journey of life, the Butterfly Effect, and the ripples of actions extending into the vastness of space. It includes kindness, integrity, and authenticity.

A Final Word

This book is a wild ride through humanity, spotlighting fourscore of touchstone ideas. A worthy “similar” book to my original intent a quarter century ago and a worthy dedication to my dad. There are many paths one can take through the minds of our great thinkers; I hope you will enjoy the path I chose.

Life is a journey full of mystery and wonder…

As you move forward, let the timeless tenets of Holistic Eudaimonia guide you. Be mindful and…

“Enjoy the journey, with truth and honor, causing no harm.”
