I feel most happy when I am well rested, doing what I enjoy and surrounded by people I care about. I find this frequently happening on weekends, when I am given free time and a chance to sleep in, at crew or hockey, or when I am simlply just talking with a group of teammates or friends.

One concept that I found interesting was that we don't understand what happiness is anymore today than we did hundreds of years ago. That despite many modern conveniences, just as many people will end their lives feeling unaccomplished. I also enjoyed his thoughts that "the best moments usually occur when a person's body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile." Although I believe that these moments are often the best, I don't think these are the end all, happiest moments of our lives. I also think that we have the ability to be happy without using effort.
