MAXIMUM OF PLEASURE: WHAT MODERN PSYCHOLOGY TALKS ABOUT

Abstract. We suggest an integration of an eudaimonic and hedonistic approaches with the aim of getting maximum of life pleasure. The author of the paper demonstrates that exactly the eudaimonic practice not only enriches the spectrum of human positive experience, but also promotes negotiation of the main hedonistic limitations – namely, adaptation and hedonistic paradox.  

Key words: adaptation, hedonism, the flow, happiness, pleasure, eudaimonism.
