How Should We Manage Changes in Fortune?, External vs. Internal, Do not…

- - - - Always only ask "What's next level"
    - - External metrics NOT equal to flourishing
  - - - extreme hour
      - internal political conflict
      - globalization and greater competition
      - internet-driven “always-on” culture
- - - - miss america syndrome
    - - aggression + no empathy + less self control
- - - - Psyco breakdown in 20s, when he imagined goals all achieved = no meaning.
- - - - happiness = living & feeling & flourishing
        
        activity = virtue
    - - Pleasure
        
        appetite increase
      - Honor
        
        external dependent
      - Intellectual
        
        much closer answer
    - - Happiness = when we want itself, not what's behind it.
        
        Eg) Money - buy mroe things
        Prestige - recognition & opportunity
    - - Humans uniquely exercise reason.
        
        Therefore the human function is:
        
        rational activity.
    - - External matters. Only not the essense of flourishing, while stoic argues doesn't matter at all.
    - - Analogy: best general, best shoemaker, use effectively what they have best way = noble
- - - - Example: muscles become stronger after being stressed and recovering
  - - - Money is important, but SPIRE is more important
- - - - Things not control
    - - Shift mindset: From Why --> What virtue reqeuires me to do now?
    - - Obstacle → material → virtue.
    - - impermanence changes the significance we assign to immediate setbacks
