Philosophers have long held that we can distinguish between eudemonic
experience, or a striving towards meaning and purpose that underlies
human beings' capacity to engage in complex social and cultural
behavior, in contrast to the striving for more heonic or simply pleasurable experience.
-- Michael Friedman, "Would a Year of Voluntary Public Service Bring Out America's Best?" Huffington Post, March 11, 2015
