2Procure most time possible to family and friends, and make them feel loved and important.
3If #2 absolutely requires breaking #1, do it.
4Save all free coupons which don't require purchase and hand them to the homeless.
5Never buy anything which you cannot dispose off at any moment and in a heartbeat. That includes a home.
6Sleep well, eat healthy, and exercise.
7If offered, never say no to sex. As long as it is safe, do it and put all your heart into pleasing the other person(s).
8Do not watch TV. See # 5 above.
9Never owe money. It doesn't matter if it is to a bank or to an individual.
10Work in something you love and do the minimum effort to get by, so you always have time, mind and energy for #2, #6 and #7 above.

What is the minimum effort involved in professing astrophysics and did he do too little when he was advisor for aerospace matters for the EU commission I wonder?
I think happiness is more complex than he has summed up.
Funny thing is that Harvard just released their 75-year-long field study on
happiness, where people, their children and grandkids have been studied,
observed, interviewed, assessed and whatnot, and the conclusion is that
happiness... (drumroll) ... is directly correlated to having good relationships.
Nothing else, nothing more.

I guess that if you love to do something and you happen to be good at
it, the effort required is quite minor compared to other endeavors.
I, for example, excel at making passionate and skillful love to beautiful sen̂oritas.
As a professional gigolo, then, I don't have to make a lot of effort to earn my
living nicely and I put little time and thought into it. Just the minimum. One
client per week and voilá.

I break all the rules except the never say no to sex one.
Then again I am a miserable SOB.
