This is a small paperback that suggests possible ways that we busy people could make ourselves happy.
The difficulty is, happiness is a challenging goal, and staying happy ever after only happens in children’s bedtime stories. Happiness in our mind is acceleration in physics – moving forward in a constant speed doesn’t count. Even if energy is not a problem, you cannot accelerate forever because you are limited by the speed of light - by then the time stops. Similarly, to stay happy, we need new stimuli and excitements coming up time after time – an impossible mission.
I must say many of the suggestions are easier said than done. Nonetheless, a handful of them are highly practical and, according to the Pareto principle, should achieve most of the benefit. Notably, we should take regular breaks to re-charge our momentum, ease our mind before going to bed, and set a time everyday to do something we really enjoy.
To me, maybe it is writing this blog.
