    The Happiness Paradox Trap

    The Happiness Paradox Trapのベスト引用

    “

    The more intensely we pursue happiness, the more it seems to slip away from us. It's not about wanting to be happy, it's about overthinking and judging our happiness; when we're constantly monitoring how happy we are, we're actually pulling ourselves out of the moment where happiness happens.
