In his latest book Happily Ever After: Escaping the Myth of the Perfect Life, Paul Dolan explores some of the myths about our sources of happiness, and argues that there can be other, unexpected paths to lasting happiness. Marriage, university and having children are among the signposts to success that Paul Dolan challenges. Statistically, unmarried and childless women are the happiest subgroup in the population, he points out. They also live longer, he says – traditional markers used to measure success no longer correlate to happiness: “By freeing ourselves from the idea of the ‘perfect life’, we might each find a life worth living.” Must read.
