The Secret to Happiness: From the letters page of the New York Times Sunday Magazine, by one Harvey Kliman:
As in physics, it may be time to suggest a unifying theory for happiness: Happiness = (Reality x Flexibility) - Expectations.
NOTE: The print version subtracts expectations while the internet version divides by them. I'm not sure which version Mr. Kliman sent them, but I like the print version. It implies that flexibility is much more important than downsizing expectations.
