In this episode of CODEPINK Radio, our Local Peace Economy coordinator Marie Goodwin speaks with Stephanie Harrison, author of “A New Happy: Getting Happiness Right in a World That’s Got It Wrong. Why do so many people feel like happiness is unattainable? Why do we rely on concepts like fame, wealth, and power – all individual attainments – as the basis happiness? What if that idea is based on a lie? What if happiness is a by-product of giving to and receiving from your community, rather than as an individual pursuit?

The War Economy keeps us all grinding away, seeking safety and comfort in isolation, promising happiness and “enoughness” when we consume and produce goods and services for money. But the Peace Economy knows that happiness is something you experience while giving your gifts to others, establishing an interconnected net of interdependence with your community.
