Salon.com Life | Getting over happiness

Salon.com Life | Getting over happiness

This article is an interview with Steven Hayes who is a proponent of commitment therapy. It's interesting because it advocates moving away from feeling happy as a goal to striving for meaning even if it means going through accepting feelings and acting on values. I'd buy the book if I had more time...

"What people mean by happiness is feeling good. And there are many ways to feel good. And many of the ways we feel good actually limit the possibilities for living the way we want to live our lives."
