We all want to be happy.
In fact, you could say that almost everything we do is motivated by the desire to move ourselves closer to happiness.
And yet happiness is elusive. Tricky to grasp... like holding water within our hands.
What is happiness? Is happiness malleable—meaning, can our efforts to increase happiness have a lasting effect? What are the most common barriers to happiness?
We answer all these questions and more in this episode.
