This is better than happiness

Hey friends,

Here are 3 goodies to feed your brain this week.

😃 Joy vs happiness

Everyone chases happiness… but really needs joy.

I recently discovered there’s a BIG difference.

Joy is the root. Happiness is the fruit.

Last Sunday I spent hours exploring this concept. (my ideal sunday funday)

I used an example from Matthew McConaughey and then broke down joy into 3 simple steps in this post.

It’s one of my favorite articles I’ve written. Leave a comment here and let me know what you think.

🔍 Relationship Data

Data scientist Dr. Samantha Joel found there’s ONE question that meaningfully predicts “successful” relationships.

Turns out, it’s NOT about having a similar sense of humor, politics, or even interests.

It’s simply, “Are you satisfied with your life right now?”

If a person was happy with their life before the relationship, they were 4x more likely to have a happy relationship.

TLDR:

📚 Reading

Every time I read a great book I get excited to read more.

(Just read The Power of Regret by Daniel Pink and it was excellent.)

Question for you…what was the last book you read and loved? (hit reply)

Mucho Amor,
