Are you happy (be honest) or do you feel like happiness something you're always striving for, but never attaining?

In this episode I talk with special guest Kate King about what we can learn from Buddhist philosophy when it comes to being happy and how we can add more lightness and joy into our everyday lives.

We talk about:

  • What happiness is and isn't
  • Happiness vs joy
  • The value of regular self reflection
  • How burnout affects your ability to be happy
  • Sitting with uncomfortable feelings
  • Contemplating impermanence 
  • Buddhist teachings on happiness
  • How compassion for others makes us happy
