Wealth itself is no shield: unhappiness is common among the rich precisely because they feel pressure to be happy and then guilt for not fully appreciating their luck, which only deepens the gloom. The flaw in the view. One of human nature's most reliable ways of sabotaging joy is to look out at a beautiful scene and fix on the one thing that's missing or wrong, however small. Comparison does the same work — measuring your life against someone else's distorts your sense of your own. […] Keep your balance by moving. Tend every area of life and take play seriously. Don't fix on the flaw. Refuse the missing-piece habit and the comparison habit; swat the automatic negative thoughts. Invest in people. Relationships are the greatest predictor of a happy life; be a giver, not a taker. — Enjoy the Flight (Living/Balance/Happiness/Passion)
