Why people like Gandhi and Buddhist monks rate their lives as happier than most millionaires
Meaning.
People who do (what they call) “meaningful” work are far more likely to rate their life as “happier.”
One of the most important factors to a person’s rating of life is not exactly correlated with how pleasurable they think their life is, but rather how meaningful it is to them.
I think that most people see the luxurious lives of those on their yachts all the time — and we think that’s THE life. The life we want.
Hey, maybe that’s what you actually want. But for the vast majority, happiness is not achieved by being rich. It’s about finding something greater than ourselves.
Or finding meaning.
For me, I want to impact 1,000,000 other people. Hence, The Million Impact Mission.
