WAYS TO ACHIEVE THE GOAL OF HAPPINESS
According to Aristotle, things of any variety have a characteristic function
that they are properly used to perform. The good for human beings, then,
must essentially involve the entire proper function of human life as a whole,
and this must be an activity of the soul that expresses genuine virtue or
excellence.
Thus, human beings should aim at a life in full conformity with their
rational natures
True happiness can therefore be attained only through the cultivation of
the virtues that make a human life complete
