Haidt summarizes, "The author of Ecclesiastes wasn't just battling the fear of meaninglessness; he was battling the disappointment of success. . . . Nothing brought satisfaction."2 This is an abiding human problem, and there is plenty of modern empirical research that backs it up. Studies find a very weak correlation between wealth and contentment, and the more prosperous a society grows, the more common is depression.
