My brother has always talked about the path to happiness. Fundamentally, it’s about acknowledging that we can’t change the past, so which decisions/actions can we take right now that will lead to happiness?

But few of us ever put this into practice. The Netflix show Beef is about what happens when people can’t let go of a small slight and how it spirals into greater misery.

Someone bumped our car? Let it go. That’s the path to happiness.

But instead, so many of us believe that we have to get even. Vengeance is never a path to happiness.

Seneca said: “…the one who is indeed a great spirit and a true judge of his own worth takes no vengeance for an injury, because he just doesn’t feel it.”

On the contrary, a book written by a certain president once said, "When somebody screws you, screw them back in spades.”

Of course, it's up to us whether we want to read or listen to a book like that.

Or be that kind of leader.
