The word you're looking for is 'eudaimonia'

This post by JA Westenberg is about the 'middle path' which they equate with the Buddha, but which I'd associate with Aristotle:

We talk about the boring middle. The lazy middle. The compromised middle. But I put it to you that our obsession with picking the extreme and laughing at moderation is little more than cope. It’s our obsession with tribalism, with extremism, with feeling over thinking, with belonging over being. It’s destructive, unhelpful, and soul-destroying.
