Very little, indeed...

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.
~ Marcus Aurelius

Happiness = quality of life minus envy.

We’re living better than 99.9 percent of humans who ever walked the earth - hot showers, modern medicine, endless entertainment, kids that actually survive infancy.

Yet so many of us feel miserable. 

We get used to how good we have it, then compare ourselves to everyone else and tank our own happiness. 

Happiness = quality of life minus envy.
