Unhappiness that is caused by too much success is a high-class problem. That's the sort of unhappiness people work all of their lives to get. If you find yourself there, and I hope you do, you'll find your attention naturally turning outward. You'll seek happiness through service to others. I promise it will feel wonderful.
Scott Adams discusses the idea that unhappiness arising from excessive success is a unique challenge, often referred to as a "high-class problem." This type of dissatisfaction is something many strive to achieve throughout their lives. When experiencing such feelings, individuals often begin to focus their thoughts beyond themselves, seeking fulfillment through helping others.
Adams assures that engaging in acts of service will lead to a profound sense of happiness. By turning attention outward and embracing the well-being of others, people can find joy and purpose, ultimately transforming their experience of unhappiness into something rewarding and enriching.
