Almost a hundred years ago, Albert Einstein shared the theory of happiness with the world that stated that a calm and modest life brings you more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant relentlessness.
Despite the obsession with the pursuit of personal happiness, understanding the meaning in life is the key to resilience as well as success.
The meaning of a purposeful life is deeper, though; many psychologists define it as a state of comfort and ease, feeling good at the moment.
