What is happiness? A discussion with a friend and colleague, Kit Yoon

from A Functional Approach with Dr. Jim Chialtas · host Jim Chialtas, DACM, L.Ac.

In this 133rd episode, I sit down again with my friend and colleague Kit Yoon. Several months ago we were chatting and got onto the topic of happiness. A big topic to say the least, and we realized there was a lot to unpack so we put a pin in it for a later time. Well, this is that later time! Our discussion was not pre-planned, or designed in any way. It was as organic and natural as it gets. The best way, in my opinion. So everything that came up here was from the heart. It was our truth. And we happily shared it with you all. Kit offers some concepts taken from the author Arthur C. Brooks regarding the "Macro and Micro Nutrients of Happiness." (Links below) And I share a writing piece that I did from a few years ago while I was exploring the concept of happiness. My writing piece does not reflect my own personal story, but rather the story of many people. It was a channel of sorts into the psyche of humanity at large. (At least from the male perspective which was used as an example in the piece.) I hope that you enjoy this philosophical discussion on one of the more fundamental concepts we humans tend to struggle with throughout our lives. Happiness....
