TEDBlog: Archive: Dan Gilbert asks, "Why are we happy?" on TEDTalks. Is there more to life than money? Whenever there is a discussion about joining a startup vs working at regular job, someone will defend the boring 9-5 job by saying, "there is more to life than money". These people are, of course, right. There is plenty of evidence that happiness is only loosely correlated with wealth. People seem to derive a much greater sense of satisfaction from good relationships, and having a sense of purpose and meaning in their life. Money matters too, but not as much once the basic need for food and shelter are addressed, and those aren't big issues for most people deciding between joining a startup or a big company.
Furthermore, most people who do join startups will never experience a huge payday. If all you care about is money, I doubt that joining a startup is the right way to go. Maybe it now seems like I'm defending the boring 9-5 job, but it's actually just the opposite. That's no way to live, if you can help it. Of course that's easier said than done, but it's not impossible.
