Some people say we place too much emphasis on Happiness. I've sat and talked with stoic people who think that happiness is a selfish and shallow goal, and there seems to be some scientific evidence for that*. Psychology professor and writer William Schultz also thinks happiness may be overrated. In a recent publication for Psychology Today he wrote, that he couldn't complain about the times he's been happy, but thinks he'd "rather be other things more." I have to disagree.
