There were a lot of things that I really enjoyed in the reading. The things that I liked were the following, “The old saying that “money will not buy you happiness” turns out to be supported by all of our latest scientific research. You likely are as happy today as you ever will be. More money, power or sex will have little, if any, effect on your long-term happiness, satisfaction or fulfillment. Despite all of your daily worries, you likely will end your life quite satisfied, though not necessarily fulfilled. The greatest threat to you leading a fulfilling life is a misguided pursuit of happiness that blinds you to the possibility of a more meaningful Hero’s Journey.” The thing I also liked was when it said, Live in a free country that minimizes life-threatening poverty. You will not be happy if someone in the government controls your life. There is a marked difference between people who live in countries controlled by authoritarian regimes and those who live in freedom. While the effects of material wealth are limited, extreme poverty does breed unhappiness. 6 More money does not result in more happiness once you are barely comfortable, but poverty that threatens life itself leads to long-lasting unhappiness. I really liked these.
