Episode notes
Happiness in America is increasingly undermined by negative attitudes toward work, where fewer individuals view their job as a source of passion or identity. People today are more materialistic and influenced by a 'workism' culture, leading to unrealistic expectations of their work. To foster happiness, individuals should focus on two key aspects: earning success through creating recognized value and providing meaningful service to others. These elements can promote fulfillment, even amidst the frustrations of work. Overall, the decline of happiness is mirrored by falling satisfaction with faith, family, friends, and work, exacerbated by events like the 2008 financial crisis and the rise of social media.
