Gale Database, June 1, 2014 6. S: Meaning and Happiness O: How to find both meaning and happiness A: general population, people who seek to find meaning yet still have happiness and vice versa P: to help people obtain the satisfaction of being happy while doing something meaninful S: Shawn Achor, authors that have influenced him Tone: informative, casual, wise, scholarly 7. Achor writes about self-fulfillment--linking this to happiness while speaking about people who are on the quest to find meaning in their life. He continues to talk how these two attributes are actually linked and if separated, both will be lost. Achor advises to invest in something meaningful, say donating money to charity, and by doing so also bestows happiness on oneself as it is self-fulfilling. 8. Money and happiness can be achieved together. One does not necessarily need to exist without the other. 9. Achor brings up a very good point in his magazine article. I have never thought of doing this. I mean, naturally i have donated to charity, i just never thought of killing two birds with one stone before. 10. "We must find happiness in meaningful things", "Happiness and meaning are linked, and if you separate them, you lose both", "Try to invest in experiences, not things, and you'll achieve both pleasure and meaning"
