In the long run, hitting the lottery won’t make you happier (in fact, 50% of people feel worse after just 3 years), moving to the perfect climate won’t guarantee perpetual bliss, and the high from that promotion will be gone in no time. So what will bring happiness?
As unsexy as it sounds, true and lasting happiness comes from cultivating "psychological nutrition"—essential habits and knowledge that nourish your mental well-being. Happiness is not a destination; it's a direction. Instead of striving to attain happiness, we should focus on enhancing our overall sense of "happierness" and embrace the journey along the way.
Welcome to part one of a two-part series aimed at redefining what it means to live a satisfied life. In this series, we'll debunk common happiness myths, explore the psychology behind evolutionary practices that influence our well-being, and delve into practical strategies for establishing psychological nutrition hacks and habits. Join me as we uncover the keys to improved life satisfaction and lasting happiness.
