What if you are happy… but only because you quietly lowered the bar for what happiness means?

In this episode of The Shower Podcast, I riff on a 3-hour conversation from “The Diary of a CEO” where Greg Koukl (Christian), Alex O’Connor (atheist), and Dr K (psychiatrist) explore why so many feel lost, whether God is the answer, how death anxiety drives our search for meaning, and how YOU can find direction…today. So I would like to bring it back to something very simple: purpose, happiness, and how we personally define both.

We talk about how easy it is to chase a huge, abstract definition of happiness while ignoring the very real, very small things in front of us that already make life good. I share how I regularly ask myself “Are you happy?” without overthinking it, why purpose often sits underneath the moments we remember as “the best times,” and where religion, mortality and “big meaning” fit after you’ve built a life you actually like.

Key ideas: - why purpose so often sneaks in behind the moments you feel proud - why “how do you define happiness?” can become a trap - the difference between being objectively okay and still feeling lost - why starting from your current life (not a cosmic plan) might help more - how to think about “the next step” without wrecking what already works

If this episode makes you pause and re-check your own definition of happiness, let me know in the comments—and if you’re curious, I’ll link the original long-form conversation that inspired this one.

Stay consistent, stay resilient.
This was The Shower Podcast, and I’ll see you tomorrow.
