Happiness Can Make You Rich?

By Robert Merrill ⋅ February 22, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

Listening to the Power of Full Engagement this morning, I jotted down the following concerning developing a deep sense of purpose, and deriving happiness from it.

“Income… doesn’t noticeably influence satisfaction with marriage, family, friendship or ourselves, all of which do predict a sense of well-being.

In turn, happiness has been clearly associates with higher productivity.

In short, Money may not buy happiness, but happiness may help you get rich.” (emphasis added)
- David Myers “The Pursuit of Happiness“

I think this is true. As I have connected to my deepest-held values, my productivity has surely increased, and my happiness and satisfaction… and the income has followed.
