Quote
For example, though nearly everyone would acknowledge that having good friends is far more meaningful-and far more important to happiness-than having great professional success at work few of us would characterize a man who was moderately successful at work but who had deep and loving friendship as a "Great Success." At the same time, we routinely call wealthy men successful without knowing whether they have a friend in the world. I do not foresee a worldwide movement to use the term success more accurately, though such a movement would in fact greatly increase human happiness. But until we reach such a blessed time, we should forthrightly acknowledge that our current definition of success is more conducive to increasing unhappiness than happiness.Share
