Brainwashing ourselves into permanent happiness is clearly not something we'd want. > As I once found myself confessing to a close friend, “I would prefer to be special than happy.” He asked why. “Anyone can do the things it takes to be happy—going on vacation with family, relaxing with friends … but not everyone can accomplish great things.” My friend scoffed at this... I had a similar exchange with a friend. I wish the author said more.
