About 15 years ago a friend said 1 simple phrase to me. It made a huge impression on me, and I think is another way of phrasing some of Alain's thoughts: the secret to happiness isn't having more, it's wanting less. Whilst I took that on board, the odd thing is that though I'm happier, it seems to vex other people. Great post.

A poignant subject, and one that is closer to most of us than many will admit. Great article Benjamin, the video is blocked for me here, but I’ll be watching it later.
