No matter where we are, we are haunted by the sneaking suspicion that the real party is elsewhere. No matter what we buy, eat or drive happiness seems to elude us. Our lives seem lackluster. No matter how many projects, meetings and details we complete, the sum total of our days still feels less than significant.
