JD Roth over at Get Rich Slowly wrote a review today about a book entitled “The Happiness Project”. The book chronicles the author Gretchin Rubin’s, journey as she spends an entire year running life experiments and trying to decipher what truly makes her happy.
I find that a lot of the thoughts in this book ring true in my life. I have a goal of supporting myself and my family through a passive income stream with the result of increased happiness. If I did not think that this would bring about more happiness for myself and for my family then why would I go about it in the first place?
I think at some point we all have to wrestle with the question of “What is it that truly makes you happy?” And I don’t mean a fleeting happiness that is here one day and gone the next, I mean life-sustaining happiness that will carry you through your later years.
This book is inspirational and I highly recommend it as a worthwhile read!
I have been looking for that happiness for a long time. I do have smaller moments and for now I believe the smaller moments keep me alive. Great thoughts.
@survivalguru You are right, sometimes it takes small glimmers of happiness to lead us to our final goal. Best of luck on your journey and thanks for leaving a comment!
