It was my pleasure to be a guest on Greg Denning's Be The Man podcast, where we explored the concept of a "culture stack", the idea that every society is built on moral, political, economic, and cultural layers that interplay and change over time - and are changing as we speak.   
We discussed Aristotle's formula for happiness outlined in his great classic, Ethics, and how western civilization in general, and the United States in particular, incorporated those ideas in their founding. The "pursuit of happiness" made famous in the Declaration of Independence isn't some subjective, ethereal concept, but is actually a specific recipe for individual and societal happiness.
