331 - How We Make Ourselves Unhappy

About this episode

Are you happy? Do you struggle when life doesn’t go the way you want? Today I want to talk about why we as humans are great at making ourselves unhappy, and some ideas the Stoics gave us to make our lives better. 

“Man is not disturbed by things, but by the views he takes of them.” 

— Epictetus
