For true happiness, I think the Gaughuin solution has much to offer. Once you find your island, burn the boat, burn the books, burn the radio receiver so you're not nettled by the Great Deceiver. Take up spear fishing and plenty o' rum. The best of life is to be a bum.
Back to my workshop. The tinfoil hat is coming along nicely now.....
