Anti-Fragility

While 60 percent of happiness is determined by our genetics and environment, the remaining 40 percent is up to us. In this episode, we reflect on the 3 kinds of happy lives: The pleasant life, in which you fill your life with as many pleasures as you can, the life of engagement, where you find a life in your work, parenting, love and leisure and the meaningful life, which "consists of knowing what your highest strengths are, and using them to belong to and in the service of something larger than you are."Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unconventional.talk/Subscribe at https://www.unconventionaltalk.com
