Too many people today feel constantly disappointed—by relationships, work, and life itself. One major reason? Expectation.
In this solo episode of Common Denominator, I share a powerful idea that shapes how we experience happiness, disappointment, and purpose: our mindset. When we depend on external things like success, recognition, or other people to make us happy, our happiness becomes fragile.
Drawing on insights from Viktor Frankl, author of Man’s Search for Meaning, I explore a simple but profound truth:
The one thing no one can take away from you is your ability to choose how you respond to what happens.
In this episode, I talk about:
- Why expectations often lead to disappointment
- Viktor Frankl vs. Freud on what truly drives human behavior
- Why meaning matters more than pleasure
- How purpose and gratitude reshape your mindset
- Why struggle is often part of discovering your purpose
