In this podcast episode, we discuss the intricate nature of happiness. Although we may grapple with the challenge of defining happiness, we can easily describe moments when we're not happy, which can lead to emotional struggles or even depression. But what do we really understand about human happiness? What ignites it within us? Amid these questions, we explore the science that supports happiness and look critically at the "mental health" industry and its promise to guide us on our quest for happiness.The Pursuit of Happiness - by Dr. Roger McFillinIf you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911.
