So, right on cue, like a sign from God, I find this: The Futile Pursuit of Happiness.

”Things that happen to you or that you buy or own — as much as you think they make a difference to your happiness, you’re wrong by a certain amount. You’re overestimating how much of a difference they make. None of them make the difference you think. And that’s true of positive and negative events.”

Hmm.
