Jonathan Haidt Quotes
A More Promising Hypothesis Is That Happiness Comes From Within And Cannot Be Obtained By Making The World Conform To Your Desires. This Idea Was Widespread In The Ancient World: Buddha In India And The Stoic Philosophers In Ancient Greece And Rome All Counseled People To Break Their Emotional Attachments To People And Events, Which Are Always Unpredictable And Uncontrollable, And To Cultivate Instead An Attitude Of Acceptance. This Ancient Idea Deserves Respect, And It Is Certainly True That Changing Your Mind Is Usually A More Effective Response To Frustration Than Is Changing The World.
