Do what makes you happy

"Why don't people stop rising when they are happy? We are built to think that more is better - more power, authority, money, and responsibility. So we incorrectly infer that promotions will equal greater satisfaction...  one might take the problem head-on instead: Identify the bliss zone and get back into it. An unhappy dean should resign and go back to the happy professorial life. Easier said than done. People are wired for progress, and regression looks and feels like failure."

Catch-22? There is no black and white answer. You have to just figure it out one step at a time. Do what makes you happy.
