11: Building Lasting Happiness: Mastering Emotional Balance and Well-Being
Manage episode 449141823 series 3611966
In this episode of The Drive with Peter Attia, Dr. Arthur Brooks breaks down the essence of true happiness versus fleeting happy feelings. He explains that happiness is built on three “macronutrients”: enjoyment, satisfaction, and meaning. Brooks highlights that enjoyment requires shared experiences, satisfaction is the reward from overcoming challenges, and meaning is found through coherence, purpose, and significance. He emphasizes the importance of wanting less to find satisfaction and discusses how metacognition (consciously managing emotions) can enhance well-being. Finally, Brooks urges listeners to prioritize the "I-self" over the "Me-self" for lasting happiness.
