Happiness

Jump to new
Have a book on the subject "Stumbling on Happiness" by Daniel Gilbert ...interesting book but disagree with his final conclusions

it's kinda quirky ie.

"After a day spent killing his parents, Frank was happy"

meaning happiness is subjective
 
Are you happy ?
Are you content ?

How do you get happy , is it work satisfaction , other success or just substances. ?

When all is said and done, happiness is what we all strive for, isn't it ? but eludes so many of us and money has nothing to do with it ....has it ?
 

Sorry Burnsie, Julia thought of this one first.

Well I'm happy when I'm passionate about a business idea, developing it seeing it work........... bliss .....

Damn, Joe. I saw on the Index that you'd posted on this thread, and thought you were about to divulge the secret of eternal happiness.

My ex wife runs a similar app over a summary of my life to make sure I'm not enjoying myself.....

Happiness is not having to have an alarm clock anymore.

Ah, true wisdom. I so agree. After too many years of being up at 4am to do the dog walking, packing etc to be at the airport for the first flight, it's heaven to pick up the paper and go back to bed in the morning.
 
My alarm clock gets turned off without mercy on days I don't have to be up early for work.

Why is it on if you do not have to get up

Although I have heard of people leaving alarm clocks on so they get the pleasure of going "yeh it's saturday" and then turn it off

I used to deliberately leave my alarm clock set on Saturday. Happiness was being able to turn it off and go back to sleep.
 
I'm reminded of the old riddle my family once discussed over dinner: 'The genie gives you three wishes so what do you wish for?'

After going through all of the simple things like new car, beautiful big house, endless supply of Tim Tams, etc. we eventually decided on 'health, wealth and happiness'. Then after further discussion, we realized that if you had health and happiness you didn't really need wealth, so two wishes would suffice.
 
The lightning show we had last night in Melbourne was just gorgeous : )
