S12. Episode 7: Seeking Joy
Join us for a deep philosophical dive into the concept of joy, where we explore altruism, the Law of Polarity, the “Helper’s High,” “Interrupted Consumption,” and the genetic predisposition of people towards pessimism as an ancestral survival tool. Tune in as Corey and Tracy discuss these topics and the many ways to seek out, foster, and tap into joy – whether that is reflected in Tracy’s newfound glee in the holiday season or Corey’s late night reality show viewing.
