Achieving goals which are not backed by purpose/meaning leaves us feeling unfulfilled after the euphoria dies down.
A purposeful goal alone does not lead to happiness. A person needs to also experience positive emotions in the process of achieving the goal.
Just because an activity is purposeful and evokes postive feelings does not mean you overdo it .
These and many more profound insights can be obtained in the book Happier by Tal Ben-Shaher
Glad I read it . Strongly recommend this book. An audiobook too is available . It takes around 4 hours . Worth the investment of time !
