The Five Elements of Happiness, According to Carl Jung

In this episode, I reflect on Carl Jung’s five elements of a happy life—health, close relationships, the ability to appreciate beauty, meaningful work, and a guiding philosophy.I talk about why the last two resonate deeply with me now, and why they may be the most valuable things we can pass on to the next generation.I also explore how money supports happiness only indirectly—by giving us time, space, and security—and why simple experiences often bring the deepest joy.From ultramarathon lessons to everyday life, this episode is about finding contentment in “enough,” and nurturing the sensitivity and resilience that make life truly rich.
