We all want to feel more joyful, more fulfilled and yet fewer of us are classifying ourselves as "happy" these days than ever before.
In this episode, we discuss the dopamine-driven feedback loop and how quick thrills (e.g., social media) leave the heart feeling empty and the mind in constant search of more stimulation.
We also discuss a so(u)lution... and it's probably not what you think.
