Yes and yes.

If you think that's all you need to be happy, you're mistaken. Got a promotion a few months ago. Great title. Love the job. Massive raise in pay. After about two days I sunk into a depression because it literally didn't change anything in my life.

"Great. I am a success. Now what?"

The hedonistic treadmill is real. Happiness has to come from within.
