Discover the secret to a happier life as Mo Gawdat unveils the intriguing role our memories play in shaping our joy. This week, Samantha and Denise plunge into the powerful teachings from "Solve for Happy," discussing how our past experiences are more than mere events; they're colored by our emotions and thoughts, influencing our present happiness. They navigate the complexities of how individuals can recall the same moment differently and the profound impact this understanding has on our ability to process the past and nurture contentment.

This episode takes a hard look at the labels we assign to our experiences and ourselves. Exploring the subtleties beyond the simplistic 'good' or 'bad', they unlock how these tags can distort our reality and hinder happiness. By sharing insights from Mo and his son's life, they highlight the transformative power of living without labels, as it relates to everything from thrill-seeking adventures to the roles we play in life, such as being a parent.

In their final discussion, they celebrate the brave souls who've challenged their emotional hurdles and dared to confront the blind spots blocking their path to fulfillment. Through stories of career transitions and newfound passions, like authoring a book, they reveal how combating fear and challenging our brain's instinct to protect us can lead to incredible breakthroughs. Join Denise and Sam for an episode that's not just an exploration—it's a guide to rediscovering the joy in your journey.
