We have an expectation that more is better yet this isn't always true. Often simplicity and reduced commitments can unlock our potential. Living with greater freedom actually creates more options and more happiness.
On the growth mindset with Sam Webster Harris, we explore the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, and purpose. Why they can be hard to find and how to build them through a process of self-reflection combined with an honest assessment of what is holding us back and what is driving us forward. Success and happiness is a state of mind unique to ourselves and is our responsibility to create.
