Things We THINK Will Make Us Happy But DON'T

On this weeks episode I wanted to bring a little science and research to why the h*ll we can't seem to reach happiness. Turns out we have been focusing on the wrong things. I used my Coursera course "The Science of Wellbeing" and the book "Think Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman for the studies and research provided in this episode. I review the most common things we think will make us happy, but don't and the proof it doesn't work. I end the episode reviewing why they don't make us happy and the one thing we do have control over that can help us work towards happiness, so we can stop wasting energy on what doesn't. If you are tired of working hard to be happy and feeling you consistently lack results this episode is for you.
