Re. happiness, there's a deeper version still - fulfillment. Have you heard of Martin Seligman's work on "positive psychology"? In his TED talk and elsewhere, he distinguishes three forms of happiness/fulfillment: 1) pleasure, which is nice but fleeting; 2) flow, the mental state of complete immersion arising from high skill and high challenge simultaneously; 3) purpose and meaning, doing what you believe in. You'll like his work, I promise. :) Hey Henry – thanks for sharing your life’s learnings over the past year, that is certainly one of the better compilations I’ve read.
