It would be easier to live in a world where money provided happiness, but since it doesn't, what do we need to do to find it?
On this episode, Eric Forney and Michael Bounds talks about the search for happiness. They discuss how we think there are things we can do in life that will guarantee happiness - get married, make more money, gain status - but those things only temporarily improve upon our happiness, and we are left still searching for deeper meaning. They talk about how comparison is the thief of joy and a way out of happiness, and how it's important to focus on what you can control instead of comparing yourself to what you don't have. They discuss the importance of valuing time over money, and investing in experiences instead of things.
