High Performance Psychologist: The Secret To Happiness Is Vulnerability
Deep Dive with Ali Abdaal
**Joy vs Pleasure **
Pleasure and joy are fundamentally different experiences. The mind instinctively seeks pleasure, which often translates to immediate gratification, such as indulging in ice cream or avoiding strenuous activity like exercise. This pleasure is about conserving energy and avoiding pain. In contrast, joy encompasses a deeper sense of fulfillment that can arise even in the face of suffering. Engaging in challenging activities, such as running marathons, illustrates how joy often stems from perseverance and overcoming hardships. This pursuit of joy is linked to a greater purpose, driving individuals to push their limits and grow, even if it requires enduring discomfort or pain. Ultimately, joy transcends mere pleasure, offering a richer, more profound experience in life.
