Instead, he offers some alternate concepts to examine.

  • Viewing happiness in relationship to its opposite allows us to recognize it when it's here.
  • Was humanity built to function with ongoing sustained happiness?
  • Should we even strive for happiness or be motivated by other goals?
  • Are we defining "Happiness," and is it best that we focus on serenity or joy instead?
