This may sound like a flippant comment, but perhaps you're ready to start exploring the great unknown: yourself. "Know thyself" is one of the tenants of old, and people naturally think they know themselves well. (I used to think the same way too... but it's actually an illusion - a self deceit that we have all built in.) Start by digging into your own uneasiness. Where does it come from? What triggers it? You'll find some personal thing, most likely from childhood, tucked away in the recesses of your psyche that drives you. Meditation and self honesty are key here. You can also start by looking at other things, like anger & see how something like a small irritation early in the day can lead to more irritation later on, which can lead to a blow up. As you dig into your own psyche, you'll hopefully uncover how to love your wife, kids and place in life even more. It will then allow you to dig into yourself more, with increasing levels of gratitude, compassion and love as a result. It's pretty cool. Pay attention to your nightly dreams also, as they often reflect your day time psyche and can also influence how your upcoming day will be. Maybe this is what you're looking for?

I somehow feel like my "uneasiness" are the real engine that makes me go around so fast, honestly faster than most of the people I have around. Do I need a cure from it? I am not sure I am ready to kill the engine.

  Absolutely sure. I'm an infinitely better person for it... Add have gone barely a step down the road. There's a big difference between going along with your drives and understanding their root cause. There's this freedom and peace that comes whenever you uncover the dirt about yourself, that honestly can't be found anywhere else. This road is not be for everyone, however. Your initial request for suggestions showed that it could be. You mentioned that you're happy, that you have everything, and yet you have an uneasiness driving you. Would it not be better to be master of your own vehicle, rather than be 'driven'? Although it seems very selfish, the opposite actually happens. You're more Here. You're more available and ready to help others, etc. Although I heartily recommend this way, it's a personal choice on whether to even try it.

    You are also very good at reading between the lines! > Would it not be better to be master of your own vehicle, rather than be 'driven'? Very deep question. As I mentioned, I don't know the answer.
