Happiness Can Make You Rich?

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“
