Don’t Chase Happiness
Become Antifragile
Happiness is a journey that requires indirect pursuit and embracing hardships to find true well-being.
Chasing happiness directly can be counterproductive, leading to more harm than good
True happiness requires embracing hardships and growing from them, which is called antifragility.
Antifragility is a system that becomes stronger and more resilient when it is subjected to stress or pressure.
Pursue happiness indirectly and achieve antifragility
Spiritual well-being: finding a sense of meaning and purpose in life.
Physical well-being: managing stress and taking care of our health.
Intellectual well-being: being curious, asking questions, and deeply engaging with material.
Relational well-being: spending quality time with loved ones and fostering strong relationships.
Emotional well-being: embracing painful emotions while cultivating pleasurable ones, such as gratitude.
Final Thoughts
Happiness is a lifelong journey, not a destination, and we can learn to make the best of things that happen rather than expecting everything to be perfect.
