SUMMARY:

This work has happiness as its object of study and was motivated by the anxieties observed
empirically, in the classroom through the reports of students who could not describe what
happiness is, or when they did, they attributed this feeling to consumption habits or hedonic
pleasures. The general objective of the research was to seek possibilities to broaden the students'
understanding of the proposed theme and to contribute, through philosophy and mindfulness
meditation, to the perception that it is possible to experience happiness. With regard to the
theoretical frameworks adopted, we departed from the contemporary perspective, in which
through the vision of Zygmunt Bauman the liquid world and liquid happiness were presented, in
addition, the theoretical bases of Aristotle, in ancient Greece, were used, who adopted the
expression eudaimonia to describe happiness as the highest good sought by all individuals. For
such a philosopher, eudaimonia would be achieved through the exercise of virtue and
contemplation. In this sense, in the practical intervention with the students of the Felipe Camarão
High School Reference School, some mindfulness meditation techniques were used as a teaching-
learning tool in line with Aristotelian contemplation, which were evidenced in scientific studies,
providing practitioners improved subjective well-being, decreased anxiety and increased attention
and self-esteem. About the students who participated in the study, who showed great interest in
the content presented and in mindfulness meditation practices, reporting significant
improvements in relation to the understanding of emotions, subjective well-being and focus on
classes.
