I suppose his point is: why look for happiness in a disruptive engagement?
If you're happy/content/satisfied with a vegetative state ... well, good for you. You've controlled your desires, an important aspect of remaining peaceful.
But if happiness ain't about "lying on the sofa" for you, you've got to face the truth: get off your arse and get disrupting like a gypsy!
But I really love that brilliant comment on Siver's blog:
"If you want to have something you've never had before, you're going to have to do something you haven't done before." Rev Barbara King
My point is that most aspiring rock stars or world travelers will only end up as junkies or bums. It's like the Klondike. Sivers clearly found a gold nugget whereas most will only find a couple of flakes (if they are lucky).
Sivers talks up all the exiting things he has done, but does not mention all of the work that he put in and all the luck and good fortune that he came across to come by so much wealth which in turn allowed him to be able to do such things.
