IN EPISODE 151:
We all want happier lives, but the straightest path to happiness is the one that's indirect. In Episode 151, Tal Ben-Shahar shares why the pursuit of happiness often leaves us feeling unhappy and why seeking indirect forms of happiness makes us more fulfilled. Tal explores the "happiness paradox" that drains our joy, outlines five drivers of happiness, and offers practical and simple happiness interventions that can make an immediate difference in our lives. True happiness is the result of what we do for ourselves and others -- and after listening to Tal, you'll find ways to live happier ever after, too.
