It would be great if people who do lots of jhana would provide evidence they are exceptionally happy / productive / (outside of Jhana time) because to me that's the missing attraction.
Attestations of friends would do : "X seems so much happier now!"
Context: I'm pretty sure I reached the first Jhana a few yrs ago when I meditated twice a day. It was nice while it lasted, but didn't have powerful effects the rest of the day.
Accomplishing more in my life career wise has been a far more consistent mood enhancer, weirdly enough.
