Happiness cycle, volume 3: Quote

(se pare că ultimele capitole ale cărţii lui Gilbert trec din latura fizio-psihologică a fericirii în lumea contemporană. Întîmplător asta e exact prin zona tematică a post-ului de ieri, aşa că am transcris o mică concluzie)

The production of wealth doesn't necessarily make individuals happy but it does serve the needs of an economy which serves the needs of a stable society which serves as a network for the propagation of delusional beliefs about happiness and wealth. Economies thrive when individuals strive, but because individuals will only strive for their individual happiness, it's essential that they mistakingly believe that producing and consuming are roots to personal well-being.
Dan Gilbert
