I think my high levels of happiness have decreased my motivation for lots and lots of things. But happiness is more fun.
Quote:If you're extremely happy being in your situation I imagine there's less motivation for change.
There is less motivation for change, indeed.
Quote:I imagine it would also prevent drug use, if you're already very very happy there'd be no need to chase much of an extreme outside stimulus. Or is it more complicated?
Very true. I have also stopped drinking anything but tap water, stopped eating so many sugary foods and I don't have the urge to drink either.
Happiness makes me complacent and lazy as fuck but it's worth it.
