Find a calling
"Work less, earn less, accumulate less and 'consume' more family time, holidays and other enjoyable activities. Pursue goals but remember, it's the journey, not the end result, that counts. If your work is not a calling, can you reframe it to see it as more than just a pay cheque? If not, try to find a noble purpose outside work – religion, teaching, political campaigning. Find activities that fully engage your attention and you're good at: singing in a choir, painting, driving fast on a curvy country road. This is known as 'flow'. Happiness is not a shallow state of feeling chipper all the time, or something you can achieve directly. We need love, work and a connection to something larger. Get these conditions right, then wait."

找个口号

“少工作，少挣钱，少攒钱，增加家庭时间、节假日和其他有趣活动。追求成功，但要记住，重要的是过程而不是结果，这很重要。如果你的工作不是一个口号，你能重新审视它，把它看得只是比一张支票重要的事情吗？如果不能，那就努力在工作之外找个更高尚的目标，比如参加宗教、教学、政治活动。寻找能够完全引起你注意并且你擅长的活动，比如参加合唱团，学习绘画，在蜿蜒的乡村公路上飞快的骑自行车。这就是所谓的“flow”。快乐并不是时时刻刻感到快活，或许有时候你能够直接得到快乐。我们需要爱、工作以及重要事件之间的联系。适时达到这些条件，然后等待。
