On Purpose. In a new University of Cambridge study, researchers found that, even more than happiness, something called "eudaimonia'' is a predictor of better academic performance among teens. In the study, students with high levels of eudaimonia scored significantly higher than their peers on various academic tests. The study defined eudaimonia as "functioning well," but in an interview, author Tania Clarke elaborated: "It's about having the opportunity to understand what purpose in life feels like for you and having opportunities to cultivate your unique personal strengths and talents." Other sources describe eudaimonia as "a combination of well-being, happiness and flourishing." We've said it before: a little purpose goes a long way.
