330: Is Life ALL ABOUT making money OR can you Beat Your Genes and feel happier?
2Description
Evolutionary psychologist, Doug Lisle, PhD discusses a listener question with host, Nathan Gershfeld.
In episode 328 dr lisle answered a questioner who was frustrated about their lower income relative to friends. One aspect of that question was that life isn’t always about making money or climbing dominance hierarchies. In fact the very same instincts to keep pursing more can lead you to being unhappy. How then does one navigate when to pursue more and when to beat the genes? Are there any rough approximations for gauging this?

36:00 "... The secret of life is to enjoy the passage of time. The passage of time is something that is going to happen to you whether you like it or not." This simple truth blew my mind! I would add: learning to enjoy the passage of time while figuring out what you came to learn.
