Kindle Notes & Highlights
We humans are unhappy in large part because we are insatiable; after working hard to get what we want, we routinely lose interest in the object of our desire. Rather than feeling satisfied, we feel a bit bored, and in response to this boredom, we go on to form new, even grander desires.
the easiest way for us to gain happiness is to learn how to want the things we already have.
