Abstract

The significant contributions of Kashdan and Colleagues, and Waterman are acknowledged and some suggestions are brought forward. In particular, qualitative studies, and a cross-cultural perspective taking into account non-Western traditions are needed to disentangle happiness and related constructs. Moreover, the importance of contextualizing the eudaimonic construct of optimal experience within the framework of psychological selection is highlighted.
