Lower Your Cortisol Level. The Happiest People

The Eye And Brain Are Conspirators, And, Like Most Conspiracies, Theirs Is Negotiated Behind Closed Doors, In The Back Room, Outside Of Our Awareness.

No One Likes To Be Criticized, Of Course, But If The Things We Successfully Strive For Do Not Make Our Future Selves Happy, Or If The Things We Unsuccessfully Avoid Do, Then It Seems Reasonable (if Somewhat Ungracious) For Them To Cast A Disparaging Glance Backward And Wonder What The Hell We Were Thinking.

If I Wanted To Know What A Certain Future Would Feel Like To Me, I Would Find Someone Who Is Already Living That Future. If I Wonder What It's Like To Become A Lawyer Or Marry A Busy Executive Or Eat At A Particular Restaurant, My Best Bet Is To Find People Who Have Actually Done These Things And See How Happy They Are.

The Human Brain Is The Only Object In The Known Universe That Can Predict Its Own Future And Tell Its On Fortune. The Fact That We Can Make Disastrous Decisions Even As We Foresee Their Consequences Is The Great, Unsolved Mystery Of Human Behavior. When You Hold Your Fate In Your Hands, Why Would You Ever Make A Fist?

The Fact That We Often Judge The Pleasure Of An Experience By Its Ending Can Cause Us To Make Some Curious Choices.
