Thanks for the links, very interesting.

That has been my feeling too. I have completed soo many personal projects (or improvements) that were collecting dust on my 'mental shelf'.

I think that depends on how you interpret "happiness to become one’s default state of mind."

I think feeling happy is my default. I still get mad, hurt, sad, bored, etc. But when those feelings wear away, I return to a general state of happy contentment.

Do you have a link?

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius definitaly affected how I live my life.

Top notch podcast, one of my favorites.

I love the Earthsea series and so much more that Ursula has written

That was my same thought. This example would only work in specific circumstances, so why present it as a rule,
