And if you choose the right things to care about, you can actually stumble through hungover and end up in the right spot, right? So that initial directional choice is so, so massively important.

There's a chapter in my book called Happiness is Overrated. I still stand by that statement. The irony with happiness is that the more you think about and worry about happiness, the more you remove it from yourself. It's almost like happiness happens when you're not worried about being happy.
