In this episode, Amy and Ben explore the complex relationship between learning and happiness. Drawing from philosophy, neuroscience, and personal stories, they examine whether the pursuit of knowledge brings joy or stress, why curiosity might matter more than contentment, and how delayed gratification shapes our long-term happiness. From the thrill of discovery to the grind of mastering a skill, this conversation tackles what it truly means to "become the dance."

Whether you thrive in learning new things or struggle with the discomfort of the unknown, join us for a thoughtful dive into why and how learning matters to our happiness.

We are all unfinished minds. Let’s keep learning.
