How to Have Fun, Experience Satisfaction Through Purpose, and Find Joy In Everyday Life

In adulthood, many of us are forced to recalibrate our relationship
with joy. As responsibilities multiply exponentially, time grows
limited, and challenges mount, it becomes harder to make time for
fun, let alone remember what it feels like. As we explore the key
components of happiness—pleasure, joy, and satisfaction—we ask the
foundational question: What really brings me joy? In this
special-edition, bonus episode of How to Build a Happy Life, the
psychotherapist and Atlantic contributing writer Lori Gottlieb
demystifies one of the vital components of a happy life: enjoyment.
Gottlieb believes that we not only find it challenging to make time
for day-to-day enjoyment, but also struggle to identify what it
should feel like. This episode was produced by Rebecca Rashid and
