Um But it's , it's really cool because again , he's done the work , he's done the research um to understand why we have so many struggles um with finding happiness , with finding um our joy , no matter where we are in life , no matter what struggles we have or lack of struggles we have even . So we get into things about the difference between happiness and peace and success . We get into the difference between internal and external um sources of happiness and why we really need both , but maybe sometimes the balance is off .
So it's like the only way you really know is by experiencing it by swallowing it . Um But I would describe happiness as peaceful liveness . At first , I think we mistake happiness for entertainment , for lust .
Um But I'd love to start with , from your perspective because one of the things you said at the very beginning that that kind of like lit a , a light bulb is I want to be happy or at least that peace . And I , I wonder like , are those two different things like what to you is the difference between just being at peace with yourself and with life and actually being happy are they the same or are they different ? It's a great question and it brings up a point which is that it's easy to get lost in semantics , right ?
Like sometimes I talk about keto , sometimes I talk about carnivore or I don't know , weight lifting or whatever . And it doesn't necessarily always apply to everybody , but this applies to everybody because everybody wants happiness , everyone wants the absence of sadness , everyone wants peace and contentedness and success and joy , whatever that means to you . We all want it .
And so I would , this is where I sort of take a detour from both camps . And I say , look , happiness isn't just about removing stuff . It's not just about adding stuff .
