330. The psychology of happiness
Happiness often feels like a simple goal - something we’re told to chase or “find” if we’re lucky. But it’s not just about good moods or quick wins. True happiness is more subtle, shaped by how we show up in life, the people we surround ourselves with, and the meaning we create along the way. In this episode, we dive into what happiness really means in your twenties and beyond - why it can be so hard to hold onto, and how it’s tied to more than just feeling good.
We’ll explore:
- Why happiness isn’t a permanent state, but a shifting experience
- How everyday habits and relationships quietly influence our sense of happiness
- The PERMA model of happiness
- Why chasing pleasure doesn’t always lead to fulfilment
- Busting the 3 biggest myths about happiness
- Simple, real ways to build happiness for now, and for the future
If you’re tired of chasing constant happiness and want to explore a more genuine, meaningful way to experience joy – this one is for you.
