The Truth About Happiness: It's Likely Not What You Think!

from Fuller Expectations · host Carrie Fuller

What if happiness isn’t something we lose with age, but something we gain?In this episode, we explore insights from the World Happiness Report and uncover a surprising trend: younger generations today are reporting lower levels of happiness than older generations did at the same stage of life.So, what’s changed? From the rise of 'comparison culture' and constant pressure to optimize every part of life, to the quiet power of relationships, purpose, and perspective, we break down what’s really driving happiness (and what’s not).Most importantly, we explore why the second half of life may hold the greatest opportunity for fulfillment—and how you can start creating more happiness right where you are.
