Challenges Quote by Jonathan Haidt

“Happiness is not the shallow state of feeling pleased and chipper all the time. Happiness is the state of a human being that has achieved cross-level coherence within herself, and between herself and the people, challenges, and institutions around her. Happiness comes from between.” quote by Jonathan Haidt — Download Open image
