Finding Happiness Right Here, Right Now

Adler believed that life presents us with three unavoidable challenges: work, relationships, and love. Those who feel unequipped to face these challenges often find ways to avoid them, making excuses or running away. Freud, on the other hand, saw love, work, and play as the three pillars of happiness. If we can turn our current work and love into something playful and lighthearted, then happiness is possible—wherever we are, right now.
