Lai’s Reviews > The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life > Status Update

I imagine people five hundred years from now will laugh at us and our certainties today. They will laugh at how we let our money and our jobs define our lives. They will laugh at how we were afraid to show appreciation for those who matter to us most, yet heaped praise on public figures who didn't deserve anything. They will laugh at our rituals and superstitions, our worries and our wars.

Happiness is a constant work in progress, because solving problems is a constant work in progress - the solutions to today's problems will lay the foundation for tomorrow's problems. True happiness occurs only when you find the problem you enjoy having and enjoy solving.
