The philosophy of happiness

Or what does it take to be happy?

Firstly, it’s episode 50. That feels like a milestone. It also feels like the time since episode one has gone incredibly quickly. I should celebrate, but I’m unsure of what an appropriate celebration should be. Possibly some wine.

The Observing I is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Getting onto this episode, I delve into the philosophy of happiness, discussing perspectives from Stoicism to Positive Psychology. I look at the challenges of seeking happiness, such as the hedonic treadmill and the impact of our cultural perspective. And I do my best to distil this all down into some practical ideas that you can apply in your own journey towards happiness.

Much love,
David
