A remarkable guide to the quests that give our lives meaning and how to find your own from the New York Times bestselling author of The $100 Startup and 100 Side Hustles If you like complacency and mediocrity, do not read this book.

The more Chris spoke with these strivers, the more he began to appreciate the direct link between questing and long-term happiness, and he was compelled to complete a comprehensive study of the phenomenon. In The Happiness of Pursuit, he draws on interviews with hundreds of questers, revealing their secret motivations, their selection criteria, the role played by friends and family, their tricks for solving logistics, and the importance of documentation.
