Excessive protection prevents maturation, thus also blocking emotional development and happiness.

My profession has taught me that the most difficult and improbable thing is to change. Yet the pursuit of happiness lies not in preserving, but in the courage to change the course of events.

Happiness lies in the courage to challenge oneself, to demand something from one's destiny without letting it run its course without our contribution. (p. 66)

Being free has a cost, but not being free costs even more. Being happy is demanding, but not being happy requires even more effort. (p. 42)
