Irrational Strategies for Obtaining Happiness   Irrational Strategies Conscientious Sensitive Vigilant Dramatic Aggressive Idiosyncratic Inventive Solitary Leisurely Serious Self-Sacrificing Devoted Self-Confident Adventurous Mercurial Exuberant The personality types which comprise the PTypes typology represent irrational strategies for obtaining happiness.

In other words, the irrational strategies consist of the pursuit of certain preferred indifferents or the avoidance of certain dispreferred indifferents. But happiness is in our power. Things Not In Our Power are Neither Good Nor Bad Keith Seddon (2007). Stoic Serenity: A Practical Course on Finding Inner Peace. United Kingdom: Lulu.com. Grant Sterling (2005). "Core Stoicism."
