My original definition of happiness was who you are close to and spend time with and how they influence you. I said that everyone’s definition is different and that it could change with stages of life. After reading Deep Economy by Bill McKibben I feel my definition has stayed the same, just altered some of my opinions. McKibben talked about how close relationships with your community led to happiness, which supports my idea that happiness is the people closest to you and your relationships with them. Also from reading McKibben's opinions in his book and by having many class discussions about the content of the book, I have learned that everyone still has different opinions and definitions of happiness. McKibben had many different points in his book that many classmates argued with, and others agreed with some aspects. Reading Deep Economy has not altered my definition but it did make me take a closer look about my thoughts on the subject.
