I have been teaching happiness at over seventy universities for fifteen years. And I have watched the wellness industry get almost everything wrong.

Not a little wrong. Wrong at the level of the question.

In this episode, I'm telling you three things the happiness industry is selling you that are actually making you worse. Not because the people selling them are bad — most mean well. But because the entire premise is built on a misunderstanding about how humans actually work.

Happiness isn't a feeling — it's a baseline. Forced positivity isn't wellness — it's shame with a ribbon on it. And the thing being sold as self-care is usually comfort, which is a different thing entirely.

If you've been doing all the things and still feel flat and behind — this one's for you.
