happiness economics culture and society thought and opinion
Don’t let an economist bully you into believing money’s all that matters. And don’t let a psychologist bully you into believing that money is completely unimportant. How you manage that tradeoff is going to require a lot of experimenting and thinking and introspection. People choose occupations based not just on money, but also on meaning.
Economist Justin Wolfers offers this important caveat to his groundbreaking research into whether money buys happiness. Per his admonition, see Alan Watts on money vs. wealth and pioneering psychologist Martin Seligman’s simple, money-independent technique for increasing happiness, then revisit this field guide to finding a fulfilling occupation.
