I think , you know , any household that , you know , financial challenges and all those things . But um no , I feel like it was partly wired for to be a little low happiness wise and we know that's a thing that we can , we have a genetic predisposition for happiness , right ? Um And so everybody's wired a little differently .
Right . And so it's odd and interesting actually that only human beings of all living creatures have made a problem of their own existence in ways that lead to mood disorders or personality disorders or depression or unhappiness . Right .
Um , you know , for us to experience that kind of lasting abiding and meaningful happiness that we're ultimately after . Um Yeah , there's , there are dozens of biases built into the brain . Yeah , because I think I remember somebody talking about it as far as the survival thing goes , everything goes back to being hardwired for survival .
Um And when everything else that's external becomes a more important priority than everything that's internal , you just continue to lose , not only focus and perspective , but you also find all of these skills and mindsets eroding that generally kept us connected with each other , connected with ourselves and connected with the world , right ? And so I would say it's a number of things all contributing or sort of playing to some of the biases and some of the leanings that the brain already has built in . Um But interestingly enough , you don't have to solve for all of that in order to solve for unhappiness itself , right ?
Um And so now that being said there are both sort of happiness producing support , support of kind of biases , heuristics built into the brain . But also there are some things that are also negativity type of biases built into the brain , right ? So you've got something like the negativity bias , maybe people have heard of it .
