We hear so much about pursuing happiness, but why does contentment get less attention, especially when it feels like a more achievable and lasting state?

We’re often told that happiness is the ultimate goal, but why does contentment—something that feels more attainable and lasting—get overlooked?

It almost feels as if we’re wired to pursue the elusive, when true peace might lie in embracing a steady, contented state.
