The Happiness Paradox

 In episode 31 of the M3 Bearcast, host Malcolm Traverse explores the relationship between happiness and capitalism. He argues that the epidemic of depression and anxiety in industrialized nations is a feature of late stage capitalism, and discusses three different angles on how to find meaning and purpose in life. The first angle examines the idea that the brain is not a happiness machine, but a problem-solving survival mechanism. The second angle discusses paradoxical thinking, where two opposite ideas can coexist, and the third angle explores finding purpose through culture, art, religion, science, and pursuits such as video games.  Subscribe to Male Media Mind on social media.
