Hey folks this is able James and thanks so much for joining us on the show if you're not happy all the time do you feel like you have a problem no matter how much you achieve does it feel like it's never quite enough? This is all totally normal. There's nothing inherently wrong with the pursuit of happiness,

but it's critical to understand that even in the best case scenario,

happiness is fleeting. It's not something we ever get to keep we're

conditioned to think that if we don't feel happy we're failing at life the traditional

approach to addressing unhappiness is flawed however as it assumes we're meant to live in some perfect state of perpetual bliss, but that doesn't jive with biology or reality.

The truth is that our mammalian brains are wired for survival, not to feel happy all the time.

Feelings of happiness and achievement are short-lived and it's meant to be that way.

But by harnessing proven principles of brain science and

evolutionary biology, you can use dissatisfaction, pain, and discomfort to propel you to

your next epic success.
