Summary/Abstract: In view of the multidisciplinary nature of personalism, its different varieties and its reference to human and non-human reality, this text will focus mainly on the Christian aspect of personalism. We will emphasize that personalism concentrates above all on the question of the good, and on the full and integral development of the human person, which is the basis for the formulation of a particular concept of man. In this context we will discuss to what extent the main principles of personalism can be the basis for the successful life of the human person. We will indicate that without a specific vision of man, of the world, of human relations, ethics, and value system, as well as the education to values, respect for human dignity, the pursuit of beauty, goodness and truth, it is difficult to achieve personal satisfaction, happiness, prosperity and success in life.
