Ep. 275 Is Ambition Anti-Happiness? Reasonable Happiness & Fetishizing Wealth

Paul Ollinger was one of Facebook’s first 250 employees. At age 42, he walked out with a pocket full of cash in what most would consider an ideal situation, but what he found instead left him wondering what’s next while he explored the relationship between money, happiness, work, and meaning.
