These quests are as diverse as humanity itself, involving exploration, the pursuit of athletic or artistic excellence, or battling against injustice and poverty. Everywhere that Chris visited he found ordinary people working toward extraordinary goals, making daily down payments on their dreams. These questers included a suburban mom pursuing a wildly ambitious culinary project, a DJ producing the worlds largest symphony, a young widower completing the tasks his wife would never accomplishand scores of others writing themselves into the record books.The more Chris spoke with these strivers, the more he began to appreciate the direct link between questing and longterm happiness, and he was compelled to complete a comprehensive study of the phenomenon. In The Happiness of Pursuit, he draws on interviews with hundreds of questers, revealing their secret motivations, their selection criteria, the role played by friends and family, their tricks for solving logistics, and the importance of documentation. Equally fascinating is Chriss examination of questings other side.
