Happiness: Is There A Formula?

Subscribe to our weekly ⁠newsletter!

In this episode, we delve into the concept of happiness and ask whether there's a specific formula for attaining it. As expected, the conversation is nuanced, but at its core, we discuss the idea that long-term happiness must come from within (as opposed to over relying on experiences). When we learn to accept things as they are, nothing can threaten our state of mind or happiness. We also touch on other related topics, including:

• The danger of attaching unhappiness to external factors (that are out of your control) 
• Reframing unhappiness as an opportunity for change
• Unhappiness may indicate a disconnection from the self
• How perpetual unhappiness might mean you have fallen into a constant state of resistance
• The role of advertising in shaping our idea of happiness
• Finding internal happiness helps in practicing mindful consumerism
• Recognizing that there are infinite ways to be happy
• The connection between happiness and personal growth
• The self-fulfilling prophecy of perpetual unhappiness
• Taming the “Wanting Mind”
