Episode Details

Can you actually become a happier person—or are you destined to return to the same emotional baseline, only with a better handbag?

The internet recommends gratitude lists, regular exercise and meditation. Excellent advice—unless you turn gratitude into clerical work, exercise into punishment and meditation into another activity you must perform correctly.

In this episode:

* The truth about happiness baselines and why major achievements often produce only temporary emotional bumps

* Why you can write five things in a gratitude journal and feel absolutely nothing below your neck

* How anger, urgency or low-grade bracing can become an emotional signature you mistake for your personality

* The difference between managing your emotions and becoming deeply available for joy, pleasure, love and extraordinary intimacy in your life

* How to make serenity, pleasure and love your emotional baseline instead of occasional places you visit on vacation.

So to be clear: Can you actually become a happier person?

The answer is yes—and not in a modest, “gratitude journal improved my mood by 8%” kind of way. You can consciously raise your emotional baseline until your day-to-day life feels 100x richer, softer and more alive—and love, pleasure and joy become where you actually inside of your body day to day.
