Chase Challenge | Happiness Is a Subtraction Problem We’re Solving All Wrong

from Chasing Excellence

We’re kicking off our new 21-Day Happiness Challenge — and it's probably not what you expect. Instead of focusing on what you have to be grateful for, we flip the lens: what don't you have that you're grateful to be without? That single shift — from counting blessings to counting absences — sits at the heart of this challenge. We explore how modern culture, the "affluenza virus," and the pull of speed and convenience are actively working against our happiness, and how 21 days of focused attention can start to change that. 🐾 Start your Free Trial of the ChaseTracker ❤️‍🔥 Free Newsletter & the Chase Club 👋 New to Chasing Excellence?
