Things that are supposed to make us happy, like a big house, a fancy job, or even a relationship, can often lead to unhappiness, all in the name of "being happy."

(Note: this episode has a few sound issues. We apologize and will be changing microphones!) The older you get, and the more habits you reinforce, the more your brain "lives in the past." In fact, you may be slowly turning into a fossilized version of your past, and this is why you struggle to create new realities and address current problems. We discuss why this happens and how to change your brain.
