Audience Q&A: Is Happiness Overrated?

<ul> <li>We hear people say all the time, “I want to be happy,” or “do what makes you happy.”</li> <li>This advice is hardly useful in any practical way because what we think makes us happy is actually an abstraction of actual happiness. Happiness is not a thing you can go and get, it is a state of being, yet most people associate the concept of happiness with an external result or outcome. </li> <li>There’s a lot of “I’ll be happy if/when” type of mentality out there.</li> <li>You cannot pursue happiness because there is nothing to chase. It's not running from you.</li> <li>Imagine a world where we didn’t believe the lie that happiness exists outside of us? What might be possible?</li> </ul>
