Usually I don’t do math of sums, just let the happiness be and then fade or sadness or any other. Just grew to be ok with nothingness, cos I had a tendency of pushing towards sadness when I am not happy and then its like a pendulum and me riding it
The critique feels valid to me. There’s a tendency in modern psychology/media to pathologize the average human baseline: if you’re not consistently optimistic and thriving, something must be wrong with you, or at least you need to be in a pursuit of this.
But constant happiness isn’t realistic, it’s like a desire to be permanently high. From my own experience I’ve landed somewhere near the Buddhist framing: the healthy default is just calm and neutral, with happiness and sadness coming and going away.
Trying to force happiness as a permanent state seems like its own problem, which is kind of what Bentall is pointing at from the other direction.
Yea, I end up in greenhouse/level anyway, and then I am in the same ATS as 100+ more automatic CV's, and then I get a generic rejection
Also, it feels some companies are not even hiring for those roles, so the effort of manually applying is kinda useless.
Got ghosted after the automatic (now it seems it was automatic) test assignment. I spend like half day to make a Python script, analyse the data make a report... and then crickets
Such an awesome search! First board where I can use OR "Senior Product Manager" OR "Lead Product Manager" OR "Head of Product" OR "Director of Product" OR "VP Product" OR "CPO"
