And what allows me to enjoy my drive is I just sit and listen to you and learn so much.

I mean, imagine the sense of satisfaction I get.

I'm reaching the trucker who's, you know, that's beautiful.

That's incredible.

Before I answer it, maybe I could just give you a quick background to why I wrote that book, because it seems like that book comes.

So, I mean, there's a bunch of books that I wrote before on sort of evolutionary psychology and consumer psychology and so on.

Then Parasitic Mind.

Then there's a happiness book.

Then there's Suicidal Empathy.

Where did the happiness book come from?

And that really came, and then I'll answer your question, that came from receiving a lot of emails from people saying, what's your secret to always appearing so joyful and happy?

And even when you're dealing with very difficult subjects, you're always joking around and so on.

What's your secret?

Tell us your secret.

And so at one point I thought, why don't I write a book on those secrets?

At first, I was a bit hesitant because if there is one topic that even the ancient Greeks, going back to the ancient Greeks, have written the most about is how to live the good life, how to live a meaningful life.

So I thought, could I write something that is unique and fresh and distinct?

And I'd like to think that I did.

So now to answer your question.

There is some research that is looked at over, say, the past 40 years.
