S9 EP29: Excuse Me, Which Way To Happiness?

Are you looking for happiness? Perhaps it's under the couch
again. Or maybe you left it in the car? It's not where you think
it is. The thing about happiness is, you need to know what it is,
what it's not, where it comes from, and where to look...or you
won't find it!  But don't worry, it's not out of
reach. 


Seeing as our ultimate goal in life is to live a happy, healthy
one, we thought we should talk about happiness!  Kelsea and
Rachael tackle questions like: Think you can gauge someone else's
happiness? What if you feel happy then sad five minutes later?
Does that mean you are not a “happy person”? Do you feel it's
harder for you to be happy than it is for other people? Does
fitness make you happier?


 


Listen to today's episode and learn how to define it, measure it
and increase it! Want to know how to differentiate between
pleasure, satisfaction and happiness, and hear what the top
science researchers have to say about genetics and how much of
your happiness is predetermined? We think you'll be surprised.
