What is happiness?

Find out what modern philosopher Naval Ravikant has to say on the topic in this podcast episode.

One of my favorite quotes:

You can achieve happiness without financial wealth. Most of us recognize you’re not going to buy your way to happiness. But in modern times, you can buy your way out of common causes of unhappiness. Financial wealth can give you freedom and more time. It can give you peace.

― Naval Ravikant

👍 Try

What will you do today to work towards your goals?


That’s all!
