Defining the good life was a subject of major debate among ancient philosophers. The answer I find most appealing comes from the Stoics who defined the good life not as one with wealth, health, or any other external or emotional state.

"The happy life depends upon this and this alone: our attainment of perfect reason" - Seneca. The good life can only be obtained by the exercise of reason in free thought. Without this freedom the good life would be forever out of reach.
