Great read. While some of it is obvious (find what makes you happy), he makes some great points. He poses some poignant questions on how to discover what matters to you, and how to add happiness to your life. He briefly discusses external vs. internal manifestations of happiness. Definite 5 star.

A few quotes from the book:

"To live a meaningful life, we must have a self-generated purpose that possesses personal significance rather than one that is dictated by society's standards and expectations."

"Surprisingly, some people feel more depressed once they have attained material prosperity than they did while striving for it... The rat racer is sustained by the hope that his actions will yield some future benefit, which makes his negative emotions more bearable. However, once he reaches his destination and realizes that material prosperity does not make him happy, there is nothing to sustain him. He is filled with despair and hopelessness, because there is nothing else to look forward to, nothing that will allow him to envision a future that would be happy." (Page 75)

There's plenty of good quotes, but these sum it up: find what intrinsic values matter most to you, and pursue them. Evaluate your daily life, and spend more time doing things that make you happy and add value to your life.
