Did you know happiness is not a feeling? During the first episode of our How To Series, WHOOP Founder and CEO Will Ahmed is joined by best-selling author and happiness expert Arthur Brooks. Will and Arthur discuss Arthur’s unconventional background, the need to become comfortable with the uncomfortable, key components to setting routine and boosting dopamine, strivers, happiness, and aging, intuition and pattern recognition, breaking down the key components of happiness, and the importance of embracing unhappiness. Arthur provides insight on becoming the entrepreneur of your own life, the balance of unhappiness and happiness, how aging impacts happiness, how we need to combat the depression epidemic in young adults, the key methods to promote happiness, and how Arthur applies these skills to his own life.
