NO DOUBT YOU would draw up a somewhat different list. But here’s what I consider life’s greatest pleasures:
- Talking to my wife over a glass of wine at the end of the day
- Losing myself for a few hours in an interesting piece of work
- Walking in nature
- Spending time with my kids
- French fries
- Waking up after a great night’s sleep
- Knowing I did the right thing
- Wrapping up work on a Friday
- Making love
- A raucous dinner party
- Feeling physically spent after a good workout
- Finally sorting out a long-simmering problem
- People watching
- Taking a nap
- Ending the day with a sense of accomplishment
