In this week's episode of the Joy Lab Podcast, we'll focus on the 'Happiness Paradox' and how we can create positive growth in our lives that honors the coexistence of joy and hardship and how authentic emotional experiences can foster deeper joy. We work on the skills to do this through the Joy Lab Program, so be sure to join us there for more skill-building, community, connection, and a more empowering and flexible approach to personal growth.
EPISODE 191
Don't Get Caught
in the Happiness Paradox
The 'Happiness Paradox' describes how the relentless pursuit of happiness can lead to poorer emotional and long-term health outcomes. That's an important paradox to know about when there's so much pressure to just "suck it up" or "put on a happy face." We'll talk about how to avoid this by contrasting happiness with joy (short story: happiness is fleeting and dependent on external factors, joy is a more enduring internal state that can coexist with negative emotions like grief and sadness).
