Everyday Wellness with Cynthia Thurlow ™ Ep. 437 Exploring the Link Between Money, Happiness, and Fulfillment with Sahil Bloom
Today, I am thrilled to have my friend and colleague, Sahil Bloom, joining me. Sahil is an inspirational writer and content creator who captivates millions with his insights and bi-weekly newsletter. He is also a successful entrepreneur and the author of The Five Types of Wealth.
In our conversation today, we explore the scientific research on the relationship between money and happiness, diving into time as our most valuable asset, how busyness can hinder progress, and why comfort does not lead to growth. We also discuss the impact of technology on our daily lives, the importance of stillness and solitude, the paradox of choice, the effects of loneliness, the power of curiosity, and much more.
