In our society, ambition is viewed as a good thing. A force to be reckoned with, a badge of hard work and dedication. But does ambition come at the cost of happiness?  It can leave us wanting more, never stopping to consider what “enough” even is. What if leaning into “good enough” is the secret to true happiness?
In this episode, Garvia sits down with Amil Niazi, writer, producer and author of Life After Ambition: A Good Enough Memoir. Amil talks about what ambition meant early in her career, the reckoning that followed, and how embracing “good enough” has made her life happier and healthier.

Can letting go of ambition make you happier?

Happiness. We all know what it feels like, but it can be tricky to define. In the first episode of Happy Enough, we’re looking to get on the same page. What is happiness, anyway? Garvia speaks with Bruce Hood, professor of developmental psychology at the University of Bristol, and author of the new book ‘The Science of Happiness’.  They discuss the definition of happiness, how people can learn to be happier in their everyday lives, and why self-help isn’t the answer. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
