Attended a remarkable talk by Prof Arthur C Brookes, who teaches Happiness at Harvard Business School.

Enjoyment, satisfaction & meaning are the 3 components of happiness.

Pleasure is evanescent; add consciousness & communion to get enjoyment.

Fulfilment of an objective gives satisfaction.

“True satisfaction comes from dividing all that you have by all that you want.” (ArthurCBrookes). And meaning comes from a sense of purpose & direction in your life.

Genetics also plays a role in happiness. So does luck. Circumstances play only a temporary role in happiness.

Four habits matter in happiness: practice a transcendent faith; maintain family relationships; sustain close friendships not defined by utility; & earn success at work while serving others.

Superb prescription from Arthur C Brookes. Thanks Ashoka University for a memorable talk.

Be happy!

Doubt cannot come where there is a sense of closeness. Doubt needs a distance to appear. You never doubt something that is dear to you, close to you! :
