What if happiness isn’t about getting what you want, but about stopping your fight with what is? In this mind-shifting episode, Jay breaks down the fastest way to increase happiness: stop disliking what happens. He explores why anger and disappointment are signals, not enemies, and how “friendly curiosity” about our reactions leads to freedom. This is a raw, real look into how the mind creates suffering, and how you can step outside it to enjoy life as it unfolds, no matter the outcome.
