Happiness feels so...elusive right now, right? Happiness coach Sandra Ann Miller joins Amanda to talk about how we might have happiness wrong. In this episode we will explore the following questions:
- Are unhappiness and consumerism linked?
- What is hedonic happiness? How is that different from eudaimonic happiness?
- Can money buy happiness? And are billionaires happy?
- How and where can we find happiness (you might be surprised)?
- What's the difference between being happy and toxic positivity?
- Is happiness possible in an unjust world?
- Is it okay to be happy while so much bad stuff is happening in the world around us?
Also in this episode: Amanda discusses the recent piece by Derek Thompson for The Atlantic, "Why Americans Suddenly Stopped Hanging Out." How is that impacting our own personal happiness? And how do we rediscover our community?
