Wonderful framework this . Much of the stress that is caused in our life is by saddling ourselves with expectations , many a time influenced by perceived external benchmarks of success ( bigger title , bigger house etc). Completely agree on the point of Altruism and kindness , something we all possess in abundance and yet most refrain from sharing . I think this finds inherent roots in the eternal debate on journey vs. destination . Do we over obsess about the destination (achievement) and fail to enjoy the journey . If one can discover joy in the journey , then can one achieve a happiness set point that is constant and any thing one manages to achieve during it becomes just a bonus ? The above approach can be incongruous to existing dogmas of the corporate world , however can find application in personal life for sure.
