Why does chasing happiness so often leave us feeling dissatisfied?

In this episode, we explore the psychology behind the happiness trap and why pursuing happiness as a goal can actually push it further away. From hedonic adaptation to the distinction between pleasure and meaning, we unpack why achievements, relationships, and milestones don’t always lead to lasting fulfillment.

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “I’ll be happy when…” this conversation will help you rethink what happiness really is and how to experience more of it without constantly chasing the next thing.
