You Don’t Need to Earn Happiness—Here’s Why

You might be chasing happiness all wrong—and it’s costing you more than you realize.

Justin Wenck, PhD, unpacks the real reasons happiness can feel elusive, even when life looks good on the outside. He breaks down the three essential questions we rarely ask:

What does it take to be happy?
What does happiness actually mean to you?
And most importantly… what even is happiness?

🌟 Key Points & Takeaways

Why overloading your "happiness checklist" makes it feel impossible
How hidden beliefs (like “happiness means laziness”) might be sabotaging you
Why redefining happiness could be your most important mindset shift
A simple but powerful way to choose happiness—even during setbacks
The role of attention and energy in shaping your emotional state
