I once believed that the next big thrill—be it a holiday, a new relationship, or a raucous night on the town—would finally deliver the happiness I craved. But after countless let-downs, I began to ask: what does true fulfilment really look like?
Digging into the neurobiology behind pleasure, I discovered that lasting contentment ultimately hinges on our ability to lean into discomfort and challenge. By testing my own limits and rethinking what matters, I found sources of satisfaction that stood the test of time.
In this episode, I’ll explain why chasing the glitzy illusions of “the good life” can trap us in a cycle of empty highs, and offer concrete strategies for building a more meaningful sense of satisfaction. You’ll discover how to recognise the subtle traps that lure us into shallow highs, and gain practical insights into cultivating forms of pleasure that compound and blossom over time.
If you’ve ever stared at your collection of things and felt an emptiness you can’t quite place, you’re not alone. Join me as we envision a deeper, more enduring approach to mental wellbeing.
