You did everything right. The degree, the job, the money. So why does it still feel empty?
Dr. Arthur Brooks is a Harvard professor, bestselling author, and the happiness scientist billionaires call when their success stops working.
In this episode, he breaks down the science of why high achievers feel trapped in a simulation of love, progress, and purpose — while feeling nothing real.
You'll learn:
- Why boredom is critical for meaning, and why eliminating it makes life emptier
- The 3 meaning questions AI can never answer for you
- Why resisting pain creates more suffering than the pain itself
- Why algorithms have hijacked your brain, and how to take it back
- The difference between resume virtues and eulogy virtues — and why most people optimize for the wrong one
- 6 rebellious ways to break out of the simulation for good
If you have everything but feel nothing, this episode will show you exactly why — and how to fix it.
