What Makes Life Worth Living?

Psychology was all about what what cripples life, and trying to get rid of the things that crippled life. But i think the belief that the best we can ever do in life is not to be miserable,. That belief is empirically false, morally insidious and a personal and political dead end. And so i began to think: could there be an effective psyc logy of a the good life, of what makes life worth living? And so that became the driving force for my next 20 years of work... It's not what you went into that saying, i'm going to create a new field that revolutionizes psychology and crates allways things.
