Manage episode 479301930 series 2638917
Jonny Thomson is a writer for Big Think, author and online educator at Philosophy Minis.
Why is happiness so hard to define? How does comparison rob us of joy? And can you really be happy without virtue or meaning?
Expect to learn why true happiness often involves hardship, why contentment doesn’t mean giving up ambition, why social media distorts our idea of fulfilment, how virtue and moderation are critical for lasting happiness, the dangers of gamifying virtue, and why embracing suffering might be the secret to a meaningful life — and much more.
