Takeaways

 Society has conditioned us to pursue the wrong things for happiness, such as success, material possessions, and external validation.


 True happiness comes from intrinsic motivation and being true to oneself.


 Capitalism, individualism, and dominance influence our beliefs about happiness and lead us astray.


 The pursuit of extrinsic goals often leaves us feeling empty, while finding intrinsic joy in our pursuits brings fulfillment.


  We are enough and deserving of happiness just as we are. Recognize your worthiness and separate it from external achievements.


  Ask for help and embrace the power of connection.


  Be mindful of the impact of social media on happiness and prioritize in-person connection.


  Start the journey to new happy by understanding your authentic self and taking small steps towards pursuing passions and serving others.
