Felicidade, sucesso e experiências

Há dias comecei o postal "O problema da pieguice" com:

"Quanto mais piegas, menos optimistas.
Quanto menos optimistas, menos ..." [Moi ici: Menos sucesso financeiro]

Ontem comecei a ler o livro "Time and How to Spend It" de James Wallman onnde encontrei:

"Most of us assume that success leads to happiness. We tend to think that once we get the dream job, home or partner, life will feel clicked into place. So, based on this, you should focus on your IQ and your EQ and then you’ll be successful and happy.
.
But what psychologists like Lyubomirsky and Achor have now found flips this idea on its head. They have discovered that people who, in the scientific jargon, have ‘emotional health’ or display ‘positive affect’ – that is, people who you and I would just say are happy – are more likely to succeed.Let me shine a light on why that’s so interesting. This new research shows that if you want success, you should first aim to be happy.
...
if you want to be happy, you should spend more of your focus and money on experiences.
...
if you want to have a successful life, you should focus on experiences."
