I came across a great article over on Tynan.net about appreciation and its relation to happiness. For those of you who don’t know, Tynan is the artist formerly known as “Herbal” from the book “The Game.”

“Joe is turning sixteen. All he wants in life is to have a car. He’d give anything for it. Sarah, who has a car, has never had a boyfriend. She’s dying to have a boyfriend. Tracy has a boyfriend, and is about to have his baby. The kid was a mistake and she would do anything to turn back time and not conceive. Dale, who has no kids, just lost his job and desperately wants to make money. George, a billionaire, would give up his fortune to be young again, like Joe.”

It’s a great and short article. Check it out here: http://tynan.net/appreciation-why-it-should-be-impossible-to-be-unhappy/
