Do you ever feel like happiness is always just one more achievement away?
Today on The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with my dear friend Robert Holden, Director at Happiness Project & Success Intelligence, to explore how constantly chasing happiness might actually be keeping it out of reach. Together, we unpack some of his famous and thought-provoking quotes, including the idea of "destination addiction"—the belief that happiness is always somewhere in the future, never in the present.
Robert and I discuss how to break free from our culture's obsession with instant gratification and start living fully in the moment. We dive into how joy is something already within us, and why self-acceptance, rather than endless self-improvement, is the true path to happiness and success.
If you're ready to stop chasing and start living, tune into this deep conversation filled with wisdom on following your joy and finding fulfillment right where you are in this moment.
