I'll never forget that one heated debate my partner and I had about happiness, where we realized that our expectations and definitions of happiness were entirely different. This got me thinking, and in this episode, I invite you to join me as I uncover why happiness is relative and how our perceptions can be misguided by arbitrary standards and societal norms.Through my personal experiences, we'll explore the concept that emotions exist on a continuum, and without sadness, there is no happiness, and without sorrow, there is no joy. We'll challenge the idea that external factors should dictate our happiness levels and encourage you to break free from societal expectations that only add unnecessary pressure. By the end of this episode, you'll have a fresh perspective on happiness and the tools to redefine it for yourself. --------- EPISODE CHAPTERS --------- (0:00:00) - The Theory of Happiness as Relative (0:07:31) - The Irrelevance of Happiness (0:19:50) - Breaking Free From Societal Happiness Standards
