I am 27M in a few days and realize that the older I get the less concerned I am with getting an edge, the latest tech, the highest paycheck, things that a younger version of myself saw a traits of a successful life.

Instead I try and maximise for happiness. At this point in my life that means more time working on my body and my image of self, trying (hard) to turn off the screen and spend time with my partner or the cat or whatever is happening in the environment I find myself in.

So I ask you, HN crowd: is happiness the goal?

Reading a discussion of a proposal to implement history pruning for the Ethereum blockchain (https://reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/qzvsfq/impromptu_technical_ama_on_history_expiry/), I noticed that reading Vitalik is always a joy. I’m far from being an expert in blockchain and economics, but something about the way the guy explains complex and abstract ideas just clicks for me.

What are some authors, blogs or books that trigger this on yourself HN?

For me the topic is not important, but I prefer to read about physics and tech in general.
