Adrants reader Jeff Wasiluk writes to tell us, “For most of us, day to day creativity only pays off in our minds. Sure there is the occasional award, standard company raise, maybe you even got a pat on the back. Good for you. But me, I’d rather have those little sparks of brilliance put my ass on the beach and a mai tai in my hand.” Point taken. Which brings us to Rather be in Hawaii, a site from Starwood Hotels and Hawaiian Airlines, on which you can upload an image of an unpleasant moment of your life and have it paired with another image of vacation perfection. If you win the contest, you get a 5 night stay in Hawaii at a Starwood Hotel with airfare courtesy of Hawaiian Airlines. Go ahead. Upload your misery and go to Hawaii.

I’m 37 and I just realized that every major decision I’ve made in my adult life was designed to avoid disappointing people who stopped thinking about me the moment I left the room – and that’s a lesson most people learn too late to rebuild

Psychologists say the clearest sign someone is unhappier than they realize isn’t sadness — it’s when they stop being able to feel joy in things that used to light them up, but they keep going through the motions anyway
