BROOKS QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW<\/h3>\n<p><strong>\u201cHappiness is not the goal and unhappiness is not the enemy. Getting happier is the goal.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Arthur C. Brooks<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cPhysical fitness, for me, is a way to manage my negative affect. It\u2019s actually a happiness technique for me. It doesn\u2019t make me happier. It makes me less unhappy. That\u2019s what physical fitness will do \u2014 it\u2019ll buy you less unhappiness.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Arthur C. Brooks<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe best marriages are completely honest, but the honesty is a gift and never a weapon.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Arthur C. Brooks<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cMost learning doesn\u2019t happen when the professor talks about something. If you understand everything the professor says, it\u2019s not a hard enough class, and you don\u2019t have a very good professor. He has to blow your mind with something, and you\u2019ve got to go away and think about it. And then you learn it through your own thinking. That\u2019s analytical meditation, or mental prayer.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Arthur C. Brooks<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe number one thing that Oprah and I will be very disappointed about is that people don\u2019t actually become more fully alive through the transcendent passage of both happierness and the unhappiness that is a part of what it means to be a real person.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Arthur C. Brooks<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cMy goal is training [people] to be happiness teachers. \u2026 Understand, change your habits, share with others.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Arthur C. Brooks<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cIntention is fine, but attachment is bad.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Arthur C. Brooks<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cIt is the voyage itself that is the adventure of life, not actually reaching the particular destination \u2014 whether it\u2019s the original one or one that turns out to be better or worse or wherever you wind up. And that\u2019s the way you\u2019ve got to live your life.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Arthur C. Brooks<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cOne of the things that I teach my students at HBS is that I would never invest in the firm of an entrepreneur who\u2019s unwilling to give her or his heart away. Because it\u2019s the single most risky entrepreneurial thing that you can do, putting every bit of capital at risk. If you\u2019re not willing to give your heart away, I\u2019m not going to put my money in your fund.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Arthur C.
