"The first step in transforming a society into one in which people live a good life is to teach people how to make their happiness depend as little as possible on their external circumstances.  The second step in transforming a society is to change people's external circumstances.  If we fail to transform ourselves, then no matter how much we transform the society in which we live, we are unlikely to have a good life."

- William Irvine, A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy

Haven't read this book yet...stole the quote from Derek Sivers' notes.
