Wouldn’t most parents say that all they want for their children is to be happier than they were? But what they are really conveying to their children – here Olaf paraphrased the therapist – is this: Look, see this line here? This is the happiness horizon of our family. This is how wealthy, how ambitious, how successful, how at home in the world we are. If you choose to go beyond this line, you’re on your own.
