 Euthenics
A science that deals with
development of human well-being
by improvement of living conditions.

2
 Man

From the Latin word “Humanitas” meaning

human nature and general culture of the
mind. In general, man refers to the human
race taken as a unit.

3
BASIC SOCIAL NEEDS OF A MAN:
• Recognition – the art of paying accord to
something positive in a person; respect and
acknowledgement to their accomplishment,
potentials, talents, and other good qualities they
have.
• Appreciation – somewhat similar with
recognition, however, when we give appreciation,
it is coupled with a feeling of gratitude.
• Love – may be defined as a strong feeling of
affection.
4
Different Kinds of Love
• Philia (Affectionate Love) – It is love
without romantic attraction and occurs
between friends or family members. It
occurs when both people share the same
values and respect each other — it’s
commonly referred to as “brotherly love.”

5
How to Show Philia:
• Engage in deep conversation with a friend.
• Be open and trustworthy.
• Be supportive in hard times.
• Bonus: Gift a gratitude card to a friend.

6
Pragma (Enduring Love)
• It is a unique bonded love that matures
over many years. It’s an everlasting love
between a couple that chooses to put
equal effort into their relationship.
Commitment and dedication are required
to reach “Pragma.” Instead of “falling in
love,” you are “standing in love” with the
partner you want by your side indefinitely.

7
How to Show Pragma:
• Continue to strengthen the bond of long-
term relationships.
• Seek and show effort with your partner.
• Choose to work with your partner forever.
• Bonus: Gift a love coupon book.

8
Storge (Familiar Love)
• It is a naturally occurring love rooted in
parents and children, as well as best
friends. It’s an infinite love built upon
acceptance and deep emotional
connection. This love comes easily and
immediately in parent and child
relationships.

9
How to Show Storge:
• Sacrifice your time, self or personal
pleasures.
• Quickly forgive harmful actions.
• Share memorable and impactful moments.
• Bonus: Show how much you care
with love words.

10
Eros (Romantic Love)
• It is a primal love that comes as a natural
instinct for most people. It’s a passionate
love displayed through physical affection.
These romantic behaviours include, but
are not limited to, kissing, hugging and
holding hands. This love is a desire for
another person’s physical body.

11
How to Show Eros:
• Admiring someone’s physical body.
• Physical touch, such as hugging and
kissing.
• Romantic affection.
• Bonus: Steal from our romance ideas.

12
Ludus (Playful Love)
• It is a child-like and flirtatious love commonly
found in the beginning stages of a
relationship (a.k.a. the honeymoon stage).
This type of love consists of teasing, playful
motives and laughter between two people.
Although common in young couples, older
couples who strive for this love find a more
rewarding relationship.
 
13
How to Show Ludus:
• Flirt and engage in whimsical
conversation.
• Spend time together to laugh and have
fun.
• Exemplify childlike behaviour together.
• Bonus: Gift a bouquet of roses.

14
Mania (Obsessive Love)
• It is an obsessive love towards a partner. It
leads to unwanted jealousy or possessiveness
— known as co-dependency. Most cases of
obsessive love are found in couples with an
imbalance of love towards each other. An
imbalance of Eros and Ludus is the main
cause of Mania. With healthy levels of playful
and romantic love, the harm of obsessive love
can be avoided.

15
How to Avoid Mania:
• Recognize obsessive or possessive
behaviour before acting upon it.
• Focus on yourself more versus another
person.
• Put trust into your relationships.

16
Philautia (Self-Love)
• It is a healthy form of love where you
recognize your self-worth and don’t ignore
your personal needs. Self-love begins with
acknowledging your responsibility for your
well-being. It’s challenging to exemplify the
outbound types of love because you can’t
offer what you don’t have.

17
How to Show Philautia:
• Create an environment that nurtures your
well-being.
• Take care of yourself like a parent would
care for a child.
• Spend time around people who support
you.
• Bonus: Use flowers to boost your mood.

18
Agape (Selfless Love)
• It is the highest level of love to offer. It’s
given without any expectations of receiving
anything in return. Offering Agape is a
decision to spread love in any
circumstances — including destructive
situations. Agape is not a physical act, it’s
a feeling, but acts of self-love can elicit
Agape since self-monitoring leads to
results.
19
How to Show Agape:
• Dedicate your life to improving the lives of
others.
• Stay conscious of your actions for the
good of humankind.
• Offer your time and charity to someone in
need.
• Bonus: Start a random acts of kindness
calendar.

 THE PERVASIVE SOCIAL NATURE
OF MAN
• Biological Being - Man needs food,
water, shelter and social intimacy. Due to
the complexity of life, these life’s
requirements are better satisfied if and
when these life requirements are a
product of social living.

22
 THE PERVASIVE SOCIAL NATURE
OF MAN
• Intellectual Being of Rational Being-
Man’s intellect is further sharpened in the
company of others. That is, he learns from
others and others in turn learn from him.
Thus, even modern-day psychologists
believe that intelligence is not just a
function of heredity but also that of
environment more specifically involving its
human components.
23
 THE PERVASIVE SOCIAL NATURE
OF MAN
• Psychological Being - Man should live
with others so he may achieve some
amount of security, self-identity,
achievement, and self-fulfillment.

24
 THE PERVASIVE SOCIAL NATURE
OF MAN
• Moral Being- Man’s concept of
righteousness and unrighteousness are
put into an acid test only when he realized
himself being with others. His sense of
morality cannot exist in emptiness; it must
find its realization within the human
interaction.
