There is an interview with Gregg Easterbrook in the Living & Working On Purpose weblog about
Why We Feel Worse as Our Lives Improve. For those of you who don't want to read the whole story, here is a snippet that got my attention:
Do you think that people with a clearly-defined life purpose tend to be happier than people who don’t have one?
Oh, yes. Research shows that people with a sense of meaning in life, a sense of purpose, are much happier and have a much higher sense of well-being than people who believe that life is meaningless or have no sense of purpose.
The article talks about optimism and why you shouldn't base your life around material things.
I do have a purpose in my life. What about you?
