上一堂快乐天堂课

应该学习的，应该做笔记的，应该分享的一堂课：

... ... ... ... about happy lives. There are 3 elements for life satisfaction (LS):

1.       Pleasant life (PA) – pleasure feeling, temporary happiness, triggered by sensual feeling, usually material dependent. E.g. favourite food, listen to music, reading, movie, gaming, etc

2.       Engagement (E) – feel of belonging, hobby, high interest at your job (until you forget about time and you still care about your job during outstation), its happiness lasts longer than PA. E.g. exercise, dancing, enthusiastic to your job, etc

3.       Meaningful life (M) – service (your devote yourself for others), self-fulfilling & flourishing, the most long-lasting happiness. e.g. charity, what you do is for the sake of somebody else, esp your family, your job is about the accomplishment of others which gives you the great sense of meaningful life.

So, LS = PA + E + M

If you can have all 3 (note that only E and M can provide long-lasting happiness), you are probably happy in your life J
