Episode notes

The unhappiest people are those with no purpose, spending their days in leisure activities without any goals or struggles. True fulfillment comes from having a purpose and a goal, even if the battle is not won. The desire for something unattainable often holds more value than easily achievable desires. Life's meaning is derived from purpose and the journey of overcoming struggles.

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.
