Jonathan Haidt Quotes
The Final Moment Of Success Is Often No More Thrilling Than Taking Off A Heavy Backpack At The End Of A Long Hike. If You Went On The Hike Only To Feel That Pleasure, You Are A Fool. Yet People Sometimes Do Just This. They Work Hard At A Task And Expect Some Special Euphoria At The End. But When They Achieve Success And Find Only Moderate And Short-lived Pleasure, They Ask Is That All There Is? They Devalue Their Accomplishments As A Striving After Wind. We Can Call This The Progress Principle: Pleasure Comes More From Making Progress Toward Goals Than From Achieving Them.
