Latest Episodes:

269. The Pursuit of Happiness Dec 11, 2019

Show notes

You can't be happy all the time. You would make yourself miserable. Embrace the bad times, the sadness, the anxiety, the pain. They make the happiness so much more rewarding. And at work, happiness is frowned upon - better to start the day as a grumpy sack.

Work sucks. So call out sick. Tell them you have diarrhea or whiplash or emotional distress; just about anything goes. In Germany, you can tell your boss that you're just too hungover; the government says it's fine.

Show notes

Watching a grown woman yank a doll out of the hands of a three year old will put anyone in the holiday spirit. Hopefully, the 80% off of the TV was worth getting trampled in a Consumer Stampede.

261. Dopamine Fasting Nov 29, 2019

Show notes

Sometimes you need to turn everything off and be quiet. Read a book, meditate, whatever. It seems like common sense. As usual, the brain trust in Silicon Valley has to make a religion out of it! Matty K and John discuss and swing on the end of the spectrum and OD on Dopamine! Enjoy!

260. Amit Kapoor and the Ease of Living Index Nov 27, 2019

Amit is the chair for the Institute for Competitiveness in India and they have created an Ease of Living Index to measure the average citizen's quality of life as opposed to tracking economic output! Makes sense! Fascinating discussion - we cover numerous topics including happiness, climate change, Trump, quality of life, social media, and Hong Kong! Enjoy!
