Here's the model the world tells you work hard make money be successful be admired be envied Bank it die happy and it's wrong And there's anything about money by the way, the research on money is very clear that It doesn't actually ever bring happiness.

It lowers unhappiness which are processed in different hemispheres of the brain Happiness and unhappiness are not opposites They're not they're different experiences and what happens is that low levels money will lower unhappiness So when I could finally go to the dentist, I felt better The trouble is I don't know how to do the sums inside my brain I just knew I felt better and we always mistake lower unhappiness for higher happiness And so early on you're like wow went from from you know, $15,000 to $20,000 a year.

I felt better I actually felt better about myself I was able to eliminate some of these sources of of you know misery So I'm happier and so you get into the pattern early on you wire your brain when you're a young person Working your way up the ladder more money feel better That means more happiness and you realize that going from two hundred fifty three hundred thousand dollars is not doing it That because it's not big enough jump apparently So you go and you go and you go and you go and you go and you're basically just chasing a lure It's a real tyranny it generally speaking has to do with being in the zone of what you actually love to do and what you Appreciate most in your life when you're in line with your own values when you're living according to your values So Jung would have put it this way Carl Jung His definition of his understanding of happiness was that you need to understand your own values what you value What you think is proper and correct and moral and if you know what that is and can articulate it and live according to that You will be happy if you agree, I think it's actually there's a lot of truth to that because you know you have to figure out what you think what your model of the world actually is what you think truth is and Then living in accord with your own values with your own integrity is is really critically important because when people live outside that groove They're they're never in equilibrium.

They're just never the problem is that they're not comfortable They're not comfortable in their own skin and I've noticed this, you know, I was working, you know It was it was it was good being the president of the think-tank.

I was lucky to be president of think-tank I believed in the work, but It wasn't who I was and so I was kind of out of my groove for ten years ten and a half years And when I started going when I went back to writing and speaking and teaching and doing creative work.

I said I Talked to a guy who's putting cabinets in my house and and he's super into putting in cabinets He loves making cabinets.

He was talking about all the details and he's so proud of his work and I say Do you do you like your work and he said?

Doesn't feel like work You know, I went on a fishing expedition deep-sea fishing expedition with my son Carlos.

We he loves a fish we go fishing and And the guy says every morning I wake up and he says today.

I'm going fishing And so this is what we all need to find The problem is that people chase these Extrinsic lures the money power pleasure and fame and they get out of the groove of what they're supposed to do And then they wonder why they're unhappy You
