The Where of Happiness

I recently heard someone mention the where of happiness on the Tim Ferris podcast and it struck me. I hadn’t thought about that idea before, about what the location of joy could be. That if you spent a little time could you isolate the places that really make you happy and just decide to spend more time there.

We often focus on where we HAVE to be. Near work, near family, close to opportunity or obligation. Not often do we take the time to isolate that little feeling that tells us this place is special and calming and I should spend more time here. I suppose maybe that seems luxurious or indulgent. But I’ve come to think it may be the simplest way to get to peace in life you can think of.

Image from last year in Lisbon, certainly a place for happiness if I’ve ever been to one.
