I’ve learned the hard way that a happy life is not about career success.

“I’ve learned the hard way that a happy life is not about career success. It’s about using the time we have to experience the simple things that bring us joy. But we all have a problem: our society is designed to deny this joy. We have another problem, at least I do: I’ve made such big mistakes they haunt me. Everything I do is mostly second best compared to my ideal. That said, do you think it’s fair that American capitalism forces most parents to choose between spending time building their careers or being with their preschool age children? I don’t. Worse: we have also become more materialistic—possibly because capitalism has coerced us into thinking we need more “stuff.” This book is my plan for making life fairer—for everyone. It is a blueprint for happier lives through better family and romantic, sexual, and pair-bonded relationships, along with a legislative agenda to help make those possible. It is also a very personal account of how and why I serendipitously stumbled upon this evolutionary fact: we evolved to feel happiest when caring for others, not when seeking power over them. I wish I’d known and believed that decades ago.”
