Judging by the rampant drug abuse in the valley, they aren't all finding the happiness peak either.

I dunno, is drug abuse rampant at FB/Google/top startups? I have doubts. People there seem pretty happy (and sidenote, very photogenic) on their instagrams.

They don't post the bad photos onto instagram. You really need to figure this out or you're going to be chasing other people's dreams. All your comments just talk about how you want to make more money, when you're already making a lot of money.

money is only a part of that validation.
