David Brooks - There’s a debate in our culture about what really makes us happy, which is summarized by, on the
one hand, the book “On the Road” and, on the other, the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life.” The
former celebrates the life of freedom and adventure. The latter celebrates roots and connections. Research over the past
thirty years makes it clear that what the inner mind really wants is connection. “It’s a Wonderful Life”
was right. Joining a group that meets just once a month produces the same increase in happiness as doubling your income.
David Brooks, in Social Animal
