[QUOTE="Fortunate, post: 232819, member: 42264"] These are great thoughts. I have done some reading that touches upon these ideas. I would recommend taking a look at Joy on Demand, a book written by a Buddhist who used to work at Google. He suggests that our happiness operates sort of like a thermostat. We have an internal “setpoint“. External circumstances may put you above or below your personal set point, but it’s only temporary. He contends that the key to being content is being able to change your own personal setpoint. Otherwise, we are all running on a hamster wheel, chasing ways to find ourselves above our setpoint, but it’s not sustainable. Not understanding this leads to suffering. His advice is to find a way to get off the hamster wheel. I am paraphrasing and may not be doing his message justice. I encourage you to take a look for yourself. [/QUOTE]
