Find a calling
"Work less, earn less, accumulate less and 'consume' more family time, holidays and other enjoyable activities. Pursue goals but remember, it's the journey, not the end result, that counts. If your work is not a calling, can you reframe it to see it as more than just a pay cheque? If not, try to find a noble purpose outside work – religion, teaching, political campaigning. Find activities that fully engage your attention and you're good at: singing in a choir, painting, driving fast on a curvy country road. This is known as 'flow'. Happiness is not a shallow state of feeling chipper all the time, or something you can achieve directly. We need love, work and a connection to something larger. Get these conditions right, then wait."

找個口號

“少工作，少掙錢，少攢錢，增加家庭時間、節假日和其他有趣活動。追求成功，但要記住，重要的是過程而不是結果，這很重要。如果你的工作不是一個口號，你能重新審視它，把它看得只是比一張支票重要的事情嗎？如果不能，那就努力在工作之外找個更高尚的目標，比如參加宗教、教學、政治活動。尋找能夠完全引起你注意并且你擅長的活動，比如參加合唱團，學習繪畫，在蜿蜒的鄉村公路上飛快的騎自行車。這就是所謂的“flow”。快樂并不是時時刻刻感到快活，或許有時候你能夠直接得到快樂。我們需要愛、工作以及重要事件之間的聯系。適時達到這些條件，然后等待。
