A Basic Framework for Happiness:
“Engagement”
Time spent daily,
hopefully in a job
that challenges us,
but also in our
after-hours hobbies.
“Mastery”
An ability to show
ourselves that we
are making
consistent progress
and improvements
toward a specified
goal.
“Flow”
Energy and
attention dedicated
each day to an
activity that puts us
in the zone.
