Lifehack your way to happiness

The term "lifehack" caught my eye today, as it appeared in several posts. The meaning should be self-evident, but it is the word's use that I find so interesting. As it implies, a lifehack is a conscious change one would make in one's behavior in order to find greater fulfillment. It isn't the New Age flavor that appeals to me, but the use of "hack" in a positive sense. It shows that the public is once again finding programming and its lingo cool, an important change since the revulsion felt right after the dot-com crash. Check out the number of books with the word hack in the title. Everyone wants to be a hacker again.
