Happy. Happier. Happiest.
It’s arguably the most keenly sought goal in the world.
When I’ve put the “what do you want from life?” question to my clients, happiness always comes in at the top of the list.
Happiness, obviously, means wildly different things to different people. And our own perception of it can vary depending on where we’re at in our lives.
It can be a tricky thing to unpack. How do you know if you’re happy when it’s such an abstract concept?
How do you measure it?
“The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less” — Socrates
Let’s Not Reinvent the Happiness Wheel
In the big, wide world of self-help, originality is a rare thing.
Even the bold “new” ideas — the stuff of bestsellers — are just fresh spins on old themes. That’s okay. A new spin can wake us up, it can help us look at concepts (in any field) from another angle. It can prompt us to re-examine old beliefs, to come at problems with a different approach.
