\\nIn his book Morality, the late Rabbi Jonathan Sacks contrasts the happiness that comes from the market with the happiness that comes from a moral dimension. When we try to find our happiness in the market, he puts it this way: we spend money we don\\u2019t have, on products we don\\u2019t need, for a happiness that won\\u2019t last. By contrast, the biblical and rabbinic traditions emphasize a moral dimension. Happiness is not what you buy or what you own. Happiness is what you do, living a moral life, being a force for good in the world.
