Join us for our next Open Book Club meeting as we delve into the nuanced exploration of well-being through the lens of ancient and contemporary perspectives. We'll be reading and discussing sections from Elinor Farrin Wolfe's dissertation titled “Maharishi Vedic Science on the Origin and Range of Dharma: Enlivening Life in Accord with Natural Law in Contemporary Society Through the Intervention of Transcendental Meditation”, focusing on the contrasting concepts of hedonistic and eudaimonic well-being. This reading challenges the prevalent consumer-driven pursuit of pleasure and highlights the profound fulfillment that comes from living a life aligned with higher purpose and virtue—what is often described as a dharmic life.

Participants will gain insights into how these different forms of well-being affect our psychology, physiology, and even our genetic expression. The discussion will also touch on the practical implications of cultivating a life of meaning and purpose, exploring how these ideas can lead to a more harmonious and fulfilling existence. Whether you're interested in psychology, spirituality, or personal growth, this is an opportunity to engage in a thoughtful and enriching conversation that may inspire you to reevaluate your approach to happiness and well-being.
