Why there's more to life than happiness.

If you're feeling a little disenfranchised or wondering 'surely, there's more to life than this?' then perhaps this TED talk will spark something for you and help re-engage you. In a recent talk by writer Emily Esfahani Smith, and she says that our culture is obsessed with happiness and then asks "but what if there's a more fulfilling path"?

Emily's research shows that happiness comes and goes, but having meaning in life -- serving something beyond yourself and developing the best within you -- gives you something to hold onto.


Her TED talk on why there's more to life than happiness explains the difference between being happy and having meaning, and she shares the four pillars of a meaningful life. It's a good watch (good to watch while on the treadmill if you need to kill those cardio minutes as I did!)
