About this episode

What gets in your way of living a good life? Too often we think things like money, achievement, or popularity will lead to happiness. But those things often leave us feeling empty.

Jonathan Fields, a speaker, author, and host of the podcast Good Life Project, is known for his work on living a meaningful and fulfilling life.

Some of the things he talks about are:

  • The three core components of living a good life.
  • How fear and uncertainty lead to social isolation.
  • How to deal with social awkwardness and discomfort.
  • The best strategies for creating meaningful connections.
  • The one thing you can do in any social situation to alleviate anxiety.
