Iβve come to think that flourishing consists of putting yourself in situations in which you lose self-consciousness and become fused with other people, experiences, or tasks. It happens sometimes when you are lost in a hard challenge, or when an artist or a craftsman becomes one with the brush or the tool. It happens sometimes while youβre playing sports, or listening to music or lost in a story, or to some people when they feel enveloped by Godβs love. And it happens most when we connect with other people. Iβve come to think that happiness isnβt really produced by conscious accomplishments.

Happiness is determined by how much information and affection flows through us covertly every day and year.
