Emotional Equations

Maya came by with her poodle Royce to do laundry tonight. I guess she'd gone to yoga with St. Frances. Before, she went to a talk by Chip Conley on "Emotional Equations." Here are three she wrote down:

  1. Anxiety = Uncertainty x Powerlessness
  2. Despair = Suffering - Meaning
  3. Happiness = (Wanting what you have) / (Having what you want)

Pretty cool, huh?
