Listen "How To Be Happy in an Unsatisfying World "
Episode Synopsis
Last week we posed the question, "Why is Enough Never Enough?" and now we're going to try to figure out what to do about it. We start off asking, "What even is a happy life?" We've discovered that true satisfaction comes not from clicking or bingeing or numbing but from doing hard things that matter. So this week we're talking bucket lists beyond sky diving, the elements that make up a happy life and how to envision a future where we are content. Arthur C. Brooks has a great podcast talking about the elements of a happy life. You can hear his take here. Dr. Anna Lembke talks about how running from pain can keep you from real pleasure in this article. And Jessica mentioned Jody Moore's River of Misery podcast, where she explains the short but difficult period of time where you’re struggling most with whatever change you’re making. Come hang out! I can't wait to connect with you! @prettyoverperfect
