In regards to the concept of happiness‚ Barry Shwartz writes that while it is a positive to have happiness as a byproduct of living. However‚ for happiness to be the ultimate objective of living is “a recipe of disaster.” This is in contrast with the beliefs of Robert Puff in his article “Why Pursuing Happiness Is The Greatest Goal.” Puff writes‚ “If happiness is what we pursue and only what we pursue‚ then what will happen is that we’ll end up being happy‚ if we also have good direction.” As I examine
