Overall I would in general agree with Aristotle that happiness is the goal of human life. But I also find that in today's world his eudaimonic life is grossly unachievable. It is far too strict with too many conditions attached. Most of his arguments are sound and very well thought through (e.g. self-sufficient life and the Golden Mean) but at the same time there are those that are clearly out of date.
