Yep, I am an entrepreneur and work a ton in front of the computer, I get a lot of joy from that but if I let it pull me in too much I get burned out. My biggest sources of happiness are the following... (email in profile if you want any details / pictures) Reading - I love reading and I read a TON. I focus on fun books... so science fiction, fantasy, and things that just let me escape and explore worlds, characters, etc. I think my ratio last year was like 95% fun books to serious books about work related topics. Biking and bike tours! - I normally do to two to three 2-hour bike rides during the week. They get me in the woods and are super good for my soul. I also do big bike tours, I just did one through Portugal and Spain over the old Camino routes (over a few weeks and ~1,00km). These are amazing as I get to explore a place at a slow pace, eat great food, see historical sites, and have some adventure. I stay in cheap hotels usually, and I want to try camping soon. You can do these in back roads in the USA as well and there are some great local routes if you want to start with just a two day one (awesome rail paths around DC for example). Yoga/ST - Go to a class or get a trainer, it was so good for me mentally. I am at a place now where I do 30 to 40 min 4-5 days and it is so good for my back injury and general well being. Plus as I get older I stay fit and can keep up with my son. What else? Cooking and learning to cook some specific dishes. Hiking and getting outdoors with my family. Family road trips too. What I did in the past: Ultimate Frisbee I used to play a ton of ultimate frisbee, it is a great sport with great people. And, it is super relaxed and open to newbies. I highly recommend joining a local league (usually when done for the day they break out a keg and everyone drinks and chats). I played from highschool to my mid 30s. I stopped playing when I moved to a new place and didn't join the local scene (plus I had hurt myself and wanted to cut down on running) Running / Trail Running I used to run a lot, like marathons alone in the woods. I stopped running when I hurt my back and I've switched over to biking. That said, I miss it and highly recommend people try to reach a place where they are running a 5k. I still miss getting in this zone, it is like deep meditation and really shook my world when I had to give it up (disc injury).
