And it turns out the skills of happiness, the skills of the pleasant life,
the skills of engagement, the skills of meaning,
are different from the skills of relieving misery.
And so, the parallel thing holds with technology, entertainment
and design, I believe.
That is, it is possible for these three drivers of our world
to increase happiness,
to increase positive emotion.
And that's typically how they've been used.
But once you fractionate happiness the way I do --
not just positive emotion, that's not nearly enough --
there's flow in life, and there's meaning in life.
