The Happiness Baseline — Why Your Happiness Feels Stuck

The Happiness Baseline — Why Your Happiness Feels Stuck

Episode 1616 Published 4 months, 1 week ago
Description
There's a number inside you that determines how happy you are — and most people go their entire lives without knowing it exists.
 
In today's episode, I explain what your happiness baseline is, why it keeps pulling you back to the same level no matter what happens in your life, and why that's actually the best news you've heard in a while.
 
I walk through the famous 1978 study on lottery winners and accident survivors, the 50/40/10 happiness model, and the four daily practices that research shows genuinely raise your set point over time.
 
I also share my own story — how I went from a suicide attempt at 19 to spending 13 years traveling the world studying happiness, and what I found that changed everything. Today, my 8-week course The Happiness Baseline has a 100% success rate in raising students' happiness scores. That statistic still moves me every time I say it.
 
If you've been wondering "why am I not happy?" even though your life looks fine on paper — this episode answers that question.
