#sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

• Even if there is a temporary difference in happiness, whether one is a billionaire or poor, if there is no change, the level of happiness is the same.

  • In other words, happiness is the derivative of the state of affairs.

• To continue feeling happiness, one must continue seeking pleasure while pushing away discomfort?

  • It is a lifelong task of pushing back the waves coming from the left and embracing the waves coming from the right.

• Teaching of Buddhism: Instead of doing that, one should accept happiness and unhappiness as something that comes and goes.

  • Let the waves pass through oneself, detachment.
