His name is synonymous with genius.

He’s also known globally for scientific discoveries and gaining a Nobel Prize for Physics.

But when we dig into the past of successful people.

We often find that they weren’t particularly happy.

Famous artists, musicians, and actors are known for being tortured souls.

Jim Carry said it well when he said

“I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it’s not the answer.”
― Jim Carrey

Success, money, and power famously do not bring happiness.

So what is the answer?

Find happiness within

Einstein claimed to be happy. It appears this happiness came down to a sense of inner peace.

His happiness wasn’t conditional on what anyone else was doing instead, he cultivated happiness on his own.
