- andrewingram 16y agoIf I had all those things, I would still stress. Primarily due to a feeling that I don't deserve what I have. Just because the message comes from someone in a position of authority, it doesn't make it any less valid.

- Cushman 16y agoAd hominem aside, it's been well documented that wealth and success don't make people happy, but there's a lot of evidence (and more coming out every day) that mindfulness and self-awareness actually do. Your cynicism does you a disservice here.
- Travis 16y agoYou need to educate yourself on some of the happiness research that is ongoing. It appears that people are very, very bad about predicting what will make them happy. There is also apparently something like a happiness equilibrium -- lotto winners and recent amputees actually return near their previous happiness level, one year after their "event". http://www.biopsychiatry.com/happiness/happiness-measured.html http://www.biopsychiatry.com/happiness/happiness-measured.ht...
