Stefan Sagmeister's list of how to be happy


Complaining is silly. Either act or forget.
Thinking life will be better in the future is stupid.
I have to live now.
Being not truthful works against me.
Helping other people helps me.
Organizing a charity group is surprisingly easy.
Everything I do always comes back to me.
Drugs feel great in the beginning and become a drag later on.
Over time I get used to everything and start taking it for granted.
Money does not make me happy.
Traveling alone is helpful for a new perspective on life.
Assuming is stifling.
Keeping a diary supports my personal development.
Trying to look good limits my life.
Worrying solves nothing.
Material luxuries are best enjoyed in small doses.
Having guts always works out for me.


I found it on Jonathan Carrol's blog, but Stefan Sagmeister (who is an important graphic artist) has also a book out: Things I have learned in my life so far. Not all of his remarks would work for me, but it's still has a sense of "feel good without messing other people's lives" that I wholly endorse.
