The Wheel...

...has that been invented yet?

“You can get happiness from Chipotle, Cialis, and Netflix,” he said on the latest episode of Recode Decode. “All those things will bring you short-term happiness. I think when we really talk about meaningful happiness, we talk about investments we make through the course of our lives and decisions in forgiveness we provide ourselves and other people, such that at the end of our life, we feel like we built a narrative of satisfaction.”

On the new podcast, Galloway talked about how he and others in his life who have tried to immerse themselves in money and sex eventually find it empty. Instead, he urged people to make a point of caring for others, taking risks, and investing in meaningful relationships so that they build on themselves over time, like money in a savings account gaining compound interest.

“Those little text messages, those little efforts to go to your high school reunion, those efforts to check in on people, those efforts to congratulate people when something good happens, those efforts to check in and tell them you’re sorry when you hear about something bad happening to them ... There are these tiny little investments and then you wake up as someone our age and you have really meaningful relationships,” he said.

You mean no one ever went to their death bed with the regret:  "I wish I'd spent more time eating burritos!"?  And the meaning of life is to try harder to keep friends?

Wow.  The things you learn from business professors on the intertoobs.  Good thing it wasn't said by one of those philosophy teachers, or a theologian or religious figure.  Those people are NUTS!  They just talk crazy talk.  You can trust a business teacher, though, amirite?
