@tedtoks: As we look at ourselves throughout history, humans have reached unimaginable levels of power, however we are no happier than we were in the past, says historian Yuval Noah Harari. In a recent conversation with @Adam Grant, Harari emphasizes the importance of shifting our focus away from gaining power and onto being happier.

Power is a selfish endeavor. There will never be enough money or power to satisfy people always want more. We need to shift to a more giving society. If we spread the wealth people would be happier.

It is a very good point, the reason of failing to make people happy is because real happiness comes from within, from loving and being loved, from caring and being cared for, from satisfaction.

for most happiness as a measure is the same as money as a measure, in that beyond a certain saturation point more is not necessarily better.
