Will I ever actually feel joy again?"— Why empty evenings are a vision problem not a scheduling problem— How to design the empty night before it arrives— Why your home environment is giving you instructions whether you know it or not— What anhedonia actually is and why so many divorced dads experience it— Why happiness is the wrong goal — and what to pursue instead— Three places joy is hiding in the life you already have— Nehemiah 8:10 — the joy that doesn't depend on your circumstancesApply to work with Anthony 1-on-1: https://bit.ly/3PfPU0fJoin the Skool community (free + The Climb): https://bit.ly/3Z83e97Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/divorceddadsofamerica/
