ABSTRACT
As we have explored in the previous chapter, the search for happiness is for many of us the central force giving our lives direction. At different points in our lives, happiness shapes into different specific goals — for a university student it may be a successful completion of university studies; for somebody starting their first job a wish for independence and economic stability; at some milestones in our career it may be a job promotion; and with maturity also comes the need to find a life partner and perhaps a wish to start a family.
