Have you ever wished you were less happy? Do your ever find yourself wanting to spend more time around unhappy people? Would you find it helpful to more clearly understand what would and wouldn’t make you happy?
In today's episode of "Why It Works," Elizabeth Haynes reveals some of the hidden mechanisms behind why Happiness works. We explore the impact of the past and future have on our happiness, common barriers to unlocking what we already possess, and how our perceptions on what should make us happy often don’t match the reality of what really does.
