This episode of The Truth About Happiness with Bull and JP explores the misconceptions surrounding happiness, inspired by Mo Gawdat’s insights. The duo breaks down three major myths: that happiness is something to attain, that it requires prerequisites, and that it is unpredictable. They discuss how happiness is actually our default state, using the analogy of a smartphone that runs smoothly until it’s cluttered with unnecessary apps—just like our minds accumulate stress and expectations. Instead of chasing happiness, they argue, we should focus on removing unhappiness. By reverse engineering happiness and identifying simple moments that bring us joy—like good music, deep conversations, or sunshine—we can intentionally cultivate a happier life. The episode wraps up with a call to action: make a Happy List and prioritize what genuinely brings you joy.
