Arthur Brooks On The Crisis Of Meaning & How To Actually Find It

The Rich Roll Podcast

Arthur Brooks is a Harvard professor, bestselling author, and one of the world's leading authorities on human happiness.

This conversation explores what he calls a psychogenic epidemic — a crisis of meaning driven by the very technology we can't put down. We discuss the three macronutrients of happiness, why our brains have been rewired to miss what matters most, the striver's curse, and an ancient escape plan for modern life.

Things get personal when he diagnoses my happiness on a scale of one to ten. The results are humbling.

I love this man. Take notes for this one. Enjoy!
