In this episode, we'll be talking with Jon Clifton, author of the new book "Why So Many People Are Unhappy: How the Science of Happiness Explains Our Discontent--and What We Can Do About It." As the Global Managing Partner for Gallup, Clifton has spent years studying the factors that contribute to happiness and well-being. In his book, he explores the reasons why so many people feel dissatisfied with their lives, despite living in a time of unprecedented prosperity and opportunity. Drawing on Gallup's extensive research and data, Clifton reveals the key drivers of happiness and the ways in which they have been eroded by modern life. From the decline of social trust and community to the rise of materialism and individualism, Clifton shows us how our values and behaviors are impacting our overall happiness and well-being. In this podcast, we'll discuss some of the key ideas and insights from Clifton's book, including the importance of social connections, the role of purpose and meaning in our lives, and the ways in which we can cultivate happiness through small but impactful changes. We'll also talk about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our happiness and well-being, and the role of technology and social media in shaping our values and behaviors. Whether you're feeling discontent with your life, or you're simply interested in the science of happiness, this episode is a must-listen. So tune in to FOMO Sapiens and hear from Jon Clifton about why so many people are unhappy and what we can do about it.
