The Art of True Happiness | Dr. Arthur Brooks

Dr. Arthur Brooks, a happiness researcher at Vanderbilt and Harvard, outlines his three macronutrients of happiness: enjoyment (social pleasure), satisfaction (earned through struggle), and meaning (coherence and purpose). He offers practical tools including identifying your core values, managing the hedonic treadmill by recognizing the four idols (money, power, pleasure, fame), and breaking technology addiction to find deeper fulfillment. The conversation covers the role of faith, leisure, relationships, and self-reflection in building a happier life.
