Goals Transform A Random Walk Into A

It Is As If Evolution Has Built A Safety Device In Our Nervous System That Allows Us To Experience Full Happiness Only When We Are Living At 100%-when We Are Fully Using The Physical And Mental Equipment We Have Been Given.

It Does Not Seem To Be True That Work Necessarily Needs To Be Unpleasant. It May Always Have To Be Hard, Or At Least Harder Than Doing Nothing At All. But There Is Ample Evidence That Work Can Be Enjoyable, And That Indeed, It Is Often The Most Enjoyable Part Of Life.

Optimal Experience Is That Rare Occasion When We Feel A Sense Of Exhilaration, A Deep Sense Of Enjoyment That Is Long Cherished And That Becomes A Landmark In Memory For What Life Should Be Like.

People Who Learn To Control Inner Experience Will Be Able To Determine The Quality Of Their Lives, Which Is As Close As Any Of Us Can Come To Being Happy.
