I seem to remember Helm saying one time that there were more important things than happiness, I guess this is probably (maybe) what he was talking about.

Does eudaemonia basically have something to do with what I've heard called 'virtue ethics', the ethical view that sees the cultivation of good habits (that is 'virtues' like charity, honesty, courage and so forth) as the key to a good life? Or is that kind of thing more in the vein of the modern 'aretology' that fails to take the concept seriously?
I'd imagine a problem that modern secular philosophy might have with eudaemonia as the pursuit of meaningful fufilment might be the doubt that modern philosophy might be a sort of agnosticism about what could possibly constitute 'meaningful fufilment' for human beings. It would seem that for 'fufilment' to have any 'meaning' you would have to have a theory of human nature and what constitutes it needs to be fulfilled, which is generally absent in modern philosophy.
