Happiness is

Christian Century,  Nov 15, 2005  

> HAPPINESS IS: "Happiness, as opposed to pleasure, is a life well lived, one that honors the important, not just the urgent," according to Rabbi Jonathan Sacks. He points to numerous studies that confirm his contention. One indicates that happiness increases with altruistic engagement. In another, subjects were given a list of 20 different factors that potentially contribute to happiness; financial success was the only option that the respondents consistently rejected (To Heal a Fractured World, Schocken).
