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 .
And so there's just something incredibly attractive , both figuratively and literally about being happy . We know that happy people are rated as more attractive by um other people in the world . Uh They make more money , 600 to $700,000 more over the course of their entire lifetime .
I leaned really hard to science because I always had kind of an a mind I trusted science . So as I read more and more science , I thought , ok , there is something here about being able to improve your happiness level clearly . But what I loved about Abraham Hicks was they put it in a language that felt more inspiring , didn't feel so dry and sterile and , and , and , and also they helped me bridge bridge this gap between like this deep spiritual bent that I had inside .
And then I'd be more , you know , resentful about it , but you've just nailed it . Um , happiness and kindness or generosity are tightly correlated . Yeah .
Yes , actually , right , the first requirement of being happy is being alive . 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 ?
