Your Happiness Is a Problem

Almost Adulting with Violet Benson

On today's episode, Join your Russian big sis, Violetta as she unravels the tale of Buddha’s enlightenment and Disappointment Panda's brutal truths. She then explores if happiness is an algorithm we can crack or if we’re just wired to be a bit miserable.

Why do we suffer? Is pain necessary for survival? Are we all just masochists in denial? and why blaming others is the perfect cop-out!! Violetta then delves into how dissatisfaction is baked into our DNA and why the greatest truths in life are the hardest to swallow. From the brain’s take on physical vs. psychological pain to how solving problems (yes, even the crappy ones) is the secret sauce to true happiness, your big sis has got you covered.

Buckle up, because this episode is all about why your happiness is indeed a problem and what you can do about it.
