The speaker (David Jenyns) argues that money is not the primary key to happiness: beyond basic subsistence, additional money has little correlation with increased happiness. The highest correlation with happiness is community—meaningful relationships and being on a mission or doing meaningful work. The speaker defines success as evolving well and contributing to evolution through meaningful relationships and purposeful work.
It's not the money. Money loses its marginal utility very quickly. Studies of happiness, there's very little correlation between how much money you have and the level of happiness past the basic subsistence level. The element that there's the highest correlation with is an element of community, who you're with. So it's this meaningful work. Are you on a mission? And meaningful relationships through a life arc that evolves. So my definition of success is more like evolving well and contributing to evolution.
