Episode 32 Unravelling the Truth About Happiness: Self-Awareness, Comparison and Choice
Manage episode 381554433 series 3462518
In this episode I challenging the belief that happiness is an achievement unlocked through external factors. I explain the concept of hedonic adaptation and the pitfalls of unmet desires, unveiling how they can impede our joy.
I also discuss overcoming challenges and the perilous habit of comparison. Life isn't a race, and everyone's starting point differs. Hear how focusing on what you have, rather than longing for what you lack can make all the difference in your happiness.
I talk about perspective and attitude, drawing from ancient wisdom like Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus, and the timeless parable of the Chinese farmer, I delve into how our judgment and mindset can create or destroy our own happiness.
