Episode notes

This chapter explores how social media influences wealth disparities by magnifying feelings of inadequacy and promoting unrealistic portrayals of success. It delves into the human tendency to compare oneself to others and the unhealthy cycle of constantly shifting goalposts. The conversation emphasizes finding a balance between aspirations and contentment to achieve genuine happiness and success.

Are you struggling to keep up in a world of dizzying change? My guest Morgan Housel offers a surprising solution: focus on timeless truths. In his book Same As Ever: A Guide to What Never Changes, Morgan reveals how embracing enduring aspects of human nature can be our guide.

We discuss how masterful storytelling moves hearts more than facts, how to balance uncertainty with possibility, and why there’s no formula for “the good life” except the one you design yourself.

Join us for a fascinating conversation on connecting with wisdom as relevant today as ever before. You’ll learn to build lives not on shifting trends but on the bedrock of eternal human truths.
