That's exactly what Naval (writer of the link in this post) preaches about happiness, if you listen to pretty much any podcast appearance of his he emphasizes how much being happy is a choice. It's funny, a lot of the stories in this thread (career-driven, not happy, achieve financial freedom, now what?) mirror very closely to his life and his path to happiness.
- bradlys 5y agoI mean - happiness is a state of mind when you’re in plenty. If you don’t have plenty or are lacking basic necessities - it’s kinda hard to argue being happy in that state is genuine.
- thatguy0900 5y agoWhat does genuine happiness mean? There are plenty of poor, happy people on this world. Once you can afford food and shelter everything else is kind of just a mindset if you don't mind being something of a social weirdo.
