The Illusion of Happiness

Happiness is a pro-metean project of self-control and self-invention. You cannot order happiness as you order dish in the restaurant if you fail to understand that we will be very unhappy, he says. Aristotle's notion of eudomonia sometimes translated as happiness allows that chance events can affect whether you are happy things that happen after your death can even affect your happiness according to him. The pursuit of happiness has turned into a nightmare for many people who want to live up to 100 years old but don't go out or have an affair because it wastes energy.
