Episode notes

The chapter explores the societal systems of domination and competition, highlighting their impact on well-being and fulfillment. It advocates for choosing collaboration, compassion, and equality over judgment and comparison in various fields like business and academia. The discussion emphasizes the importance of fostering a more supportive and interconnected way of working and living for true happiness.

What if everything society told you about how to find happiness was misleading? My guest Stephanie Harrison, author of New Happy: Getting Happiness Right in a World That's Got It Wrong, challenges the cultural conditioning around chasing achievements, wealth, and status as the path to joy.

She provides insights from positive psychology research and her own experience with depression to unravel the myths behind our collective pursuit of happiness. Stephanie offers a practical philosophy centered on sharing our gifts of humanity, wisdom, and talent to create ripples of lasting well-being for ourselves and others. Tune in to rethink what true happiness means and how you can live it.
