Abstract
The author shares some results of his pioneering investigations in the specific sphere of positive psychology dealing with the connectedness between the “egoism” and the “meaning” concepts. The conclusions obtained provide more space for new advances and further specifications of the scientific landscape in the domain of meaningful and happy life achievement.
Highlights
The first unexpected outcome is the presence of numerous positive correlations between the meaning scales and the Biological Egoism scale – person’s feeling of health which means the absence of “body” limitations in the process of self-realization
The result obtained verifies the existing ideas concerning the opposition between the “materialistic” egoism and meaning
The results demonstrate some important overlapping areas relating to the terms “meaning”, “egoism” and “personal uniqueness”
Summary
Our present attempt to prove a kind of commonness or even kinship existing between the “egoism” and the “meaning” concepts may look odd if not ridiculous. My only justification lies in the fact of purely accidental discovery of strong correlations between the two scales identifying the corresponding notions in two ESM-investigations conducted in the years of 2011 – 2012. In this particular case all the “corroborating theory” appeared after experimental results had been obtained. The results of our (Leonid Levit) research are absolutely unique since we haven’t found any information in scientific literature concerning the positive relationship between the “egoism” and the “meaning’ concepts
