The equation of happiness
My personal formula for a happy life.
This equation is a working progress and reflects my personal view of the world. People with different views/priorities might disagree.
I thank Naval Ravikant for the inspiration.
Note to self: as long as I increase any variable I increase my happiness
Happy Life = Health + Wealth + Meaning + Wisdom + Good relationships
Health = Exercise + Diet + Sleep
Wealth = Savings + Investments + Assets
Meaning = Working on hard problems + Craftmanship
Wisdom = Knowledge + Experience + Tranquility
Good Relationships = Loyalty + Shared Values (not necessarily ideas) + Mutual Growth
Exercise = High Intensity Training + Cardio + Regularity
Diet = Natural Foods + Occasional Fasting + Plants
Sleep = 7-9 Hourse of Sleep + Circadian Rhythm
Savings = 10-20% Monthly Income * ROI
Investments = 10-20% Monthly Income * ROI
Assets = Estate Property + Intellectual Property + Skills
Working on hard problems = Stretching my mental abilities to achieve a state of flow
Knowledge = Books + Lateral Thinking + Intellectual Curiosity
Experience = Travel + Friends + Get out of comfort zone
Tranquility = Self-control + Introspection + Perspective
