How to Stop Chasing Happiness + The Power of Silence

What if the reason you can't find happiness is because you've been chasing it?

Four conversations for a Sunday morning. On antifragility, connection, the courage to subtract, and twelve seconds of silence that might change everything.

This is Perfect Days — a morning podcast built around ideas worth carrying with you.

Today: Tal Ben-Shahar on why painful emotions aren't a malfunction but a proof of a life being lived fully; Nicholas Epley's extraordinary research on why human beings are far more open to connection than we ever believe; Matthew McConaughey on the radical, counterintuitive courage it takes to remove — not add — your way to a meaningful life; and Pablo Neruda's hauntingly beautiful invitation to stop the noise, count to twelve, and discover that stillness isn't the absence of life. It might be the very thing that saves it.
