Exploring the societal obsession with accumulation and success, this chapter advocates for embracing 'enough' and cultivating gratitude for what one already possesses. The speaker's introspective journey prompts listeners to reconsider their own pursuit of happiness and fulfillment in a materialistic world.
The illusion that your life is deeply flawed is fueled by the desire for what you don't have.
We can develop an unpleasant distaste for our situation, a nagging sense that something isn't enough.
This episode answers two main questions:
- Why is Life dysmorphia so common when objectively life has never been better?
- What can we do about it?
