The TRUE Meaning of Happiness

By one of my favorite YouTubers, Ali Abdaal.

In this video, Ali summarizes and reviews the lovely book I'm currently reading, The Happiness Advantage.

The book disproves this commonly-conceived life formula:

Work hard → Achieve success → Achieve happiness

And scientifically proves that this is the correct formula:

Be happy → Achieve success

2) read.

It's something I look forward to seeing in my inbox each week. Here's the most recent one if you want an example.

The Four Tendencies

My latest obsession.

Figuring out your dominant tendency is fascinating. It's analogous to a personality test, but its sole focus is on how you handle expectations. Take this quiz to find out—it takes 60 seconds.

Here are the Four Tendencies in a nutshell (but after you take the quiz you can see a much deeper description of yours):

Upholder: meets outer expectations, meets inner expectations

Obliger: meets outer expectations, resists inner expectations

Questioner: resists outer expectations, meets inner expectations

Rebel: resists outer expectations, resists inner expectations

Email me your results! I'd love to talk about it.

4) listen to.
