About this episode

Happiness vs Pleasure (Why Thrills Don’t Work)

Happiness isn't about seeking thrills and pleasure. Instead, creating a happy life is about living well every day, every moment of our lives. We can accomplish this by living in the present moments and focusing on the beautiful gifts of life all around us now.
