...success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue...as the unintended side-effect of one's personal dedication to a course greater than oneself. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
It is by being fully involved with every detail of our lives, whether good or bad, that we find happiness, not by trying to look for it directly. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
..Such practices and beliefs, which interfere with happiness, are neither inevitable nor necessary; they evolved by chance, as a result of random responses to accidental conditions. But once they become part of the norms and habits of a culture, people assume that this is how things must be; they come to believe they have no other options. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Since the purpose of business is to satisfy existing desires, or stimulate new ones, if everyone were genuinely happy, there would be no need for business any longer. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Wealth, status, and power have become in our culture all too powerful symbols of happiness. ... And we assume that if only we could acquire some of those same symbols, we would be nuch happier. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
And, in fact, you can find that the lack of basic resources, material resources, contributes to unhappiness, but the increase in material resources do not increase happiness. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
