Episode notes

Some of the richest people you will ever meet come across as incredibly unhappy, abnormally unhappy. Richard Nixon said that nothing is as desired as the thing that you want but can't have. For most people, there is actually a hierarchy of wants and it goes something like this. If you don't want something and you don't have it, you don't even think about it. And if you want something andyou can't have it,. you drive yourself mad.

This episode covers a hard topic about money: What you want more than anything is everything you can't have.

Your brain doesn’t want stuff. It doesn’t even want new stuff. It wants to engage in the process and anticipation of getting new stuff.

The change, not the amount, is what matters.

When it comes to happiness and money, it's not about how much you have. It's about the change in how much you have.

Special cameo from Richard Nixon.
