Emile Durkheim believed that people are more satisfied when they understand and stay within limits and boundaries. Winning a multi-million dollar lottery may remove those limits and boundaries, leading to a lack of direction and ultimately unhappiness. Durkheim argued that social norms and values provide a sense of purpose and meaning, which can lead to greater happiness and fulfillment.
