In today’s episode of Rare Things Podcast, we talk about the real meaning of happiness and why it’s not just about feeling good all the time.

Inspired by Anthony DeMello and Viktor Frankl, we explore how to live a life of purpose and meaning and be happy at the same time.

We also look at how different cultures see happiness and why people in the U.S often want instant results while some other cultures value community and everyday usefulness. You’ll hear stories of how we overcame tough emotions, found joy while being helpful, and how we broke free from distractions.

Our discussion goes into how you can use ‘Radical Deletion’ to let go of tasks that don’t matter and make space for what truly matters to you. Plus, we explain how working toward goals and putting in effort lead to deeper happiness than chasing quick rewards.

Join us today in this down-to-earth chat about how to find real joy and live a life of purpose, and creating space for the things that matter most in life.
