Have you ever questioned happiness?
Twice a year I meet with Project Plus, an international team
of happiness experts that includes Mathieu Ricard, John Helliwell, and others.
Currently, we are drafting the introduction to the Bhutanese Gross National
Happiness paper, which will be used by the United Nations as a kick starter for
setting happiness policy around the world. In our discussions last week in New
Orleans the members of Project Plus talked about the possibility that
individuals who are trying to achieve more personal happiness may be asking the
wrong sorts of questions. Here, for your benefit, are alternatives that you
might find provocative and useful in your own quest for happiness:
1. How much happiness should I have?
People often simply think they should be happier than they
currently are without giving due consideration to whether or not this is true.
Take stock of your current happiness. Where in your life are you satisfied and
where is there room for growth? How happy would you ideally like to be? What is
it you are shooting for, emotionally speaking? When have there been periods of
your life when you have achieved, or been close to, this ideal?
