Deferred happiness is the idea that you can't be happy until you reach some goal or hit some milestone in your life.

It's common to see people defer happiness until they make more money, find a romantic partner, finish school, move to a new city, or a million other scenarios.

Today we talk about this idea often called Deferred Happiness Syndrome. We talk about why humans are prone to it, what type of people are MOST prone to it, and how to break the cycle of deferring happiness with some very practical strategies and techniques.

This is our second episode in a series called "The Deferred Life"
The first one covered the idea of deferring life until retirement to work in a job that makes you unhappy.
