Happiness Is a Skill — The Peter Attia Drive Podcast (4‑Minute Digest)
Update: 2025-12-22
Description
Happiness isn't just a feeling — it's a set of practices you can learn and rehearse. In this 4-minute condensed version of a 2-hour conversation, Peter Attia and guest Arthur Brooks redefine happiness, explain the neuroscience of emotion, and lay out practical tools to build meaning. You'll learn Arthur’s three “macronutrients” of happiness — enjoyment, satisfaction, and purpose — why our limbic brain biases negativity, and how metacognition, ritual, service, and a “want-less” strategy reduce cravings and increase durable well‑being. Hosts: Peter Attia; Guest: Arthur Brooks. Ideal for listeners interested in health and wellness, mental health and psychology, philosophy of mind and consciousness, and society and culture. Walk away with specific takeaways: diagnostic questions for purpose, exercises to shift emotions into the prefrontal cortex, and daily routines that cultivate lasting happiness. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
