Deep Dive with Ali Abdaal
Choose Joy Over Pleasure

The human mind is naturally inclined to seek out immediate pleasures, like indulging in ice cream or avoiding difficult tasks, while also aiming to conserve energy. However, joy transcends these fleeting pleasures and encompasses a richer, more profound experience.

This pursuit of joy drives personal growth and a deeper fulfillment that surpasses mere pleasure.
