Episode notes
Measuring Happiness
- Happy achievers measure backward from progress, while unhappy ones measure forward against ideals.
- This difference in measurement determines happiness levels, as ideals, like horizons, are unattainable.
Initial Book's Impact
- Ben Hardy's article about "The Gap and the Gain" concept, initially a small book for Dan Sullivan's clients, gained widespread readership.
- This concept resonated with many, demonstrating its broad applicability beyond entrepreneurs.
Kids and the Gap
- Hardy uses the example of his children complaining about dinner, illustrating how easily people fall into the "gap" mentality.
- By asking if they're in the gap or the gain, he teaches them to appreciate having dinner versus not having it.
