Most of us are waiting for happiness to arrive....
The promotion, the relationship that finally works, the calendar to clear. We plan our lives around a feeling just past the next milestone. The surprise is getting there and feeling nothing.Author Jim Petersen spent four decades as a Naval Academy graduate, nuclear submarine officer, and executive coach, watching this pattern play out in the lives of high-achieving, deeply committed people. He found their goals weren't wrong-they were looking in the wrong direction. In these pages, you will meet:
- A man who spent eleven years working for a corner office, just to stand in it and wait for a feeling that never came.
- A boy who crashed his bicycle trying to make his father proud-and a father who didn't understand until twenty years later.
- A man who won twelve million dollars, lost his wife, and died at forty-six, whose happiest years were the ones with the least money.
- And a mother who made it to heaven just in time for St. Patrick's Day, while her husband held on until the day before their sixtieth anniversary to follow her there.
Happiness is not a destination. It is something discovered in the stops you did not plan, the losses you did not expect, and the ordinary mornings you almost missed.
