HP017: Happiness-Maximizing Income, Incarcerated Bliss, Thinking Yourself into Health and Well-Being

Update: 2019-02-01

Description

This episode is a monologue by Pete. He covers how much money maximizes two kinds of happiness, how one kind of happiness goes down when you get too rich, and how experiences lift the ceiling on how much happiness our money can buy. He also relates how attitude alone can affect whether physical work confers health benefits. If experiences buy happiness, and attitude can increase health, he reasons that a proper attitude can squeeze more happiness out of everyday experiences. An ancient Chinese philosopher seems to agree.
