Episode 17: Happiness BS

In this episode of 'Sniffing Out the Bullsh*t,' host Sabrina Chevannes explores the complexities of happiness, distinguishing between hedonic (pleasure-seeking) and eudaimonic (self-fulfillment) wellbeing. Sabrina delves into the hedonic treadmill, the psychological theory of hedonic adaptation, and the drawbacks of extrinsic goals driven by external validation. She emphasizes the importance of intrinsic goals and a holistic approach to well-being, referencing models like Martin Seligman's PERMA and Tal Ben Shahar's SPICE framework. Listeners are encouraged to focus on meaningful relationships, personal growth, and intrinsic motivations to achieve lasting happiness while avoiding the pitfalls of goal setting and social media comparisons.
