“Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness…”
You’ve heard this many times before, and yet have you ever wondered why life and liberty are automatically given and assumed while happiness isn’t . Why are millions of people around the world chasing happiness and very few ever “catch” it?
Arthur Brooks is a social scientist, Harvard professor, and bestselling author committed to helping people find success, happiness and deep meaning. He's such a profound thought-leader in the space that he just released a book with Oprah called Build the Life You Want, The Art and Science of Getting Happier.
We explore a deeply thought-provoking conversation about the pursuit of happiness through progress, learning, and understanding. As simple as the idea of happiness seems on the surface, understanding the complexities of what it means to pursue it, relish tt, and define the meaning of it without attachment and dogmatic viewpoints escapes many people.
Some key areas we dive hard and deep on that I think you will find so interesting are:
1) The role of progress in human flourishing
2) The danger of being attached and dogmatic with your beliefs
3) The importance not allowing your views to define you
What I enjoyed most about our conversation was how far we explored and unpacked in areas that are potentially controversial topics like religious beliefs, political differences, and family schisms. Get ready to challenge your base assumptions and view existential threats from new angles.
ARTHUR BROOKS QUOTES:
“The idea that you can be blissful and happy all the time is not just unrealistic, it's unhealthy. It would be terrible if you were happy all the time.”
“If you don't defend your positions, if you admit to the possibility that you're not right, that you learn and you update when people say things that you think are crazy, you say, tell me more that you're actually going to get better.”
“Any time you use your values as a weapon, you've denigrated their moral content. You've eviscerated the effectiveness of your approach. But if you use your values as a gift it might not always be taken in a charitable way.”
“Each of us is an entrepreneur in the startup of our lives. That's what really matters. And what we need is to always have a clear intention…”
“The best thing that you can possibly do is to think about the emotions that you're feeling, what they mean and how best to use them.”
“All the things we really want in life. All of our deep desires are complex. All of our solutions are complicated, and we're throwing complicated solutions at complex problems and we're not getting happier.”
“They're not entrepreneurial in the part of life that matters the most, which is their heart.”
““The first one is that there is meaning. You need to find it and live up to it.”

Kkkolombus was a kkkolonizer nothing impressive
Can you save some one from dying bcoz of peer pressure?

Isnt thats why you are here? To help?!
So how can i help someone literally from suicide?
The joy of the Lord is my strength..
The measures you take to attain success determine your level of success. Creating sound financial habits, such as setting aside money for reliable investments on a regular basis, is essential to building wealth. It's important to talk about financial management, but most people avoid it, which comes back to bother them later. I hope everyone who reads this has a prosperous life!
Starting early is simply the best way of getting ahead to build wealth , investing remains a priority . I learnt from my last year's experience , I am able to build a suitable life because I invested early ahead this time .
The rich Invest in alternative income streams that are independent of the government should be the top priority for everyone right now. especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing. Stocks, gold, silver, and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment...
I thought about investing in the financial market, I heard that people make millions if you know the tricks of the trade, but I lack good knowledge and a strategy to outperform the market and generate good yields. I have $160,000 but it's hard to bite the bullet and do it.
I agree with you, yes people make millions I started out with investing on my own, but I lost a lot of money. I was able to pull out about $200k after the 2020 crash. I invested the money using an analyst, and in seven months, I raked in almost $673,000
I'm actually interested in this idea of investing through an analyst. Sounds like the most sensible thing to do in the market right now. Could you give me a pointer to who you work with, please?
I would appreciate it deeply if anyone could pray for me I'm very Sick from long time illness please pray for me I'm suffering praying for everyone everyday God bless you all
Saghguru
Read Hanuman ashtakam daily it helps
Try Irene Lyons work too
You can try emotion code body code as well. All these are different modalities but they all work better if u combine them all. Read It didn't start with you book too
May God bless you and give you a healthy life. May God cure all your illness. All the best my friend❤
For those who are struggling and feeling depressed, I understand that it isn't easy. It becomes especially challenging to persevere when you don't feel validated, and everyone around you appears to be doing better than you. It's not entirely your fault; you were dealt a bad hand. However, have faith because a bad hand might be a blessing in disguise, you just never know. Never give up.
Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!
Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.
This is superb! information, as a noob it gets quite difficult to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro investor ?
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $508k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.
I’ve actually been looking into advisors lately, the news I’ve been seeing in the market hasn’t been so encouraging. who’s the person guiding you?
Do you mind sharing info on the adviser who assisted you? I’m 40 now and would love to grow my stock portfolio and plan my retirement.
I am writing this comment to thank you and to give you feedback based on your stated mission that I found online. "I'm Tom Bilyeu , and my goal with this TH-cam channel is to introduce you to the people and ideas that will help you actually execute on your dreams."
• Thank you, Tom, for your impact on the world. It is unimaginable that a kid like me, born in a remote part of the world, Africa, Uganda, would get a chance to listen to such wisdom that has a practical implication for my life.
• I am very, very, grateful for all the impact you, your wife, and your team at the impact theory are creating in the world. Impact theory is creating unimaginable ripple effects.
I'm finding MANY parts of this quite helpful in lifting my mood enough to get a bit un-paralyzed
Around 2:38:44 he talks about “love at first sight” with an adopted child. I absolutely felt that way when I first looked into the eyes of a tiny kitten I picked up and years later later I still intensely love my cat. It’s not the exact same thing as a human child of course but there is self-similarity .
This was amazing! This is the first time I am hearing about Arthur Brooks and I just have to say wow! This entire conversation was so eye opening and gave me a whole new perspective on relationships and love. Thank you Arthur and Tom, you both were amazing! ❤
Love to hear it!
What was your biggest takeaway?

Everyone in the world should watch this video, and rethink what is "me"! Impressive and enlighten people!
Never have l ever listened to a better podcast like this before l feel truly lucky that l discovered your podcast it's been life-changing. Not only has it shifted my mindset , but also showed me the right path to a meaningful and prosperous lifestyle.
l can't thank you guys enough for this compelling and invaluable information. ❤❤❤
Happiness is not a trap! Thinking that all others around you will make you happy is a trap! You have to make yourself happy, because no one else will...
This is also true 👍🏾
Maybe try to understand what he is actually saying. Because he is saying the same thing as you
I LOVE the theory that desiring something is evidence that it exists. Great food for thought. Great conversation! Thank you both.
This is not his original idea. It’s actually from CS Lewis.
I didn’t appreciate it that he didn’t mention this.
There are no 'original ideas' to my perception. Most of us are recycling. I doubt CS Lewis was the first to have it, even if he was the first to write it down for you read. @@lpslancelot05
Hi, he mentions a book The way of a Pilgrim and there are so many with different authors. I would appreciate it if you could tell me which one to buy. Thank you 🙏
This episode help me realize that the people around me in the corporate environment try to move me from my sense of inner joy and fulfillment to a place of emptiness while moving up the corporate ladder. I refuse to allow corporate America to dictate what happiness and success look like. Thank you for the conversation❤️
Praying Steve !!!
By HIS stripes we are healed. 🙏 AMEN
Real friends are NEVER useless to us. They are the ones who will tell you you're messing up, on the wrong road, praise your efforts, praise your success and help you get up when you fall.
What an awesome episode!! Arthur Brooks dares to express truths most academics do not. Thanks IMPACT THEORY.
Such a good episode from a 58 year old woman 😂. I learn so much, and it keeps me present and not focusing on age but on living my life to the fullest to help others each day.
Tom and Arthur, you two are top role models in my life, and this was a beautifully intriguing and stimulating discussion. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks for the support!

Only 5 min in and yes I agree 100% and have observed the same. I wish I knew more people who think this way and can articulate it.
Great interview and uplifting good information. Thank you kindly💕
It is absolutely brilliant watching this channel progress and seeing Tom and his wife grow so much. This channel has been one of many factors I've changed the trajectory of my career path and life goals.
The best talks I’ve seen in a long time - the section about how to extricate your identity 👌
As usual I'm not going to be able to sit and watch 3 hours but this guy nails it straight away. Emotions exist for a reason and happiness is one of many and we should appreciate that and embrace them.
I really love your podcasts I GET your values. Love is most important - your relationship with your wife is MORE IMPORTANT than money, power, fame, work, etc etc.
My sentiments EXACTLY - your relationship with the person you love is the highest priority.
I'm a 50 year old Grandmother that Loves Impact Theory. I try to pass on every little juicy tid bit I can to my Children and Grandchildren . Thank You for your Amazing content.
Happiness is not that hard to understand. It's just a byproduct of gratitude. If you're pursuing Happiness you're on the wrong path. Progress is key.
Thank you Arthur Brooks for not being afraid to talk about your Catholic faith. You are an inspiration to all, to share what you believe in openly and unafraid. God bless you.
Happiness is not a trap. It's an art form. The art of happiness can be mastered. A lot of it is a matter of self awareness and balance.
I always impressed with your gusts Tom,Thanks Bro for you're immense contributions to change our Life🙏🙏Gracie Mille 🙏🙏
The idea of distinguishing between the "I self" as the observer and the "me self" as the observed resonates deeply. We often get trapped in our own identities and ideologies, but by cultivating a mindset of open observation and non-attachment, we create room for personal growth and the possibility of evolving our beliefs based on new insights. Embracing uncertainty, seeking diverse perspectives, and practicing self-compassion are all valuable reminders in our journey toward a more fulfilling and harmonious existence. Thank you for sharing
BEST CONVO EVER!!! ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE,,,,, ALL WE WANT IS LOVE
🙀 This guy is mind blowing. I would have to listen 5 times to get all of this, but interesting.
TRULY your best conversation EVER... thank you
For some reason I was skeptical about this episode, but I gained so much after listening to it. Thank you both for sharing this information
We're stoked you gained a lot after listening to the conversation!
What was your biggest take away?

Impact Theory Community Manager
Definitely deep and very thought provoking!! 🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾
Thank you for this awesome conversation! I really enjoyed listening you guys and I am glad that you touched philosophy and life meaning👏.
Having seen too many people have a wide variety of reactions to the same stimulus, I don’t believe/trust anyone who speaks authoritatively about human emotion or psychology.
One thing I like about Mr. Bilyeu is that he frequently tempers his advice with qualifiers that he is speaking from his experience and opinions. I strive to communicate that way.
This is the 3rd time I am listening to this podcast. Very informative.
An extraordinary interview 😮. Might God bless the two of you.
Being gratefull for everything you got instead of what you want is happiness to me.
Thank you so much Tom for sharing this interesting conversation ❤
That distinction between pleasure and enjoyment is super smart
Everyone needs to share this!!!
Wow, enjoyed this so much, thanks Tom
Best guest! I was very impacted will put some actions to my daily protocol!! Thank you
This guy manages to say something that I completely agree with and disagree with in every sentence 😅
One of the best conversations I've heard in a very long time. I must confess though when the word 'sniper' came up, after the 'hunting and fishing' reference, my heart sank. Mr. Brooks is so 'life-affirming' so it came as a shock. As they say, having kids is a crapshoot (No pun intended). Beyond that - I'm at a loss for words - which is probably a good thing.
1:51:13 yes the audience is still with you!
Tom has really grown and continues to grow
Please for the love of all things, start putting chapters in
Outstanding conversation !!
Always great content!
Amazing conversation & enlightenment thank you for sharing 🥇& all the dedication of you & staff at Impact Theory 💯
Never underestimate the power of prayer one small prayer can change your life praise God praying for Everyone Everyday God bless you all
yeah, self-delusion is very powerful
"Nothing is either Good or Bad, Thinking makes it so."
Who knows
A good situation can be something bad
And a bad situation can turn into something good
Balance of emotions and staying aware with all attention
You get guests that are the very brightest...I think anyway!!
I lived in an Ashrama during the time I was in the Navy in the 80s/90s, when not on duty. Sleeping on a hard board and waking up at 4:30 to chant was preferable to living on a ship and taught me about austerity. I miss those simplistic days.
WOW!!! COMLICATED vs COMPLEX - explanaiton of the difference between these terms - Deterministic vs Randomness - That was the Eureka Moment!
At 23:00, he's absolutely right and speaking directly to my mind. I appreciate the feedback. Thank you. His mental state reflects on the exterior and that's what I want.
Arthur was able to talk about really polarizing things like religion with an open mind and listen to what may be an opposing view-like Sam Harris. In a world that is ME ME ME he brought home WHY not living from that place is so much more satisfying. I loved this interview! Best guest EVER.
Wow what a great episode
What a brilliant mind, yet how much fear of death he has. Therefore he cannot accept that he is but a wilting blossom, never to bloom again....
Thanks for sharing. First one here... More prosperity to you.
When I was younger I believed that essence came before life, and now it seems obvious that meaning is for us to make up, and ultimately...yes, quite depressing sometimes, though also freeing.
Até que enfim alguém que pensa como eu! Quando digo que não é possível ser feliz constantemente as pessoas pensam que estou com uma depressão.
Articulated exactly what I am grappling with, searching and finding answers, but am never content because am searching for the answer to the truth-God-Source-Universe there's this unrest in a positive way. Anyway, completely resonates.
Happiness is an active choice. - Matthew 5:3
Thank you.
High Level Conversations 💯 👌🏾 😎 ✨️
My girlfriend is probably going to read this since she also watches this channel, but I’m with this guy on recognising the importance of marrying your ‘best friend’ over the the physical aspect which is attraction.
Since I was 6 yrs old, this was always important to me - to marry (or at least stay) with a woman who is your best friend rather than a lover. Look, I’m not saying you must settle down with person who’s unattractive. No. Find the attraction, but make sure you’re attracted to this person whom you love more than anything.
The passion will follow.
Great content!
2:40:21 This section right here is quotable for Finding Meaning in life. Genuine wisdom in this video. Thanks Tom for the excellent content and amazing guests :)
The best one I've watched here
So "The pursuit of happiness " is the right saying
When you said pleasure power and success, I was out...I don't want to spend 2h listening to someone glorifying anything buy peace and contentment..pleasure power success is also a direction
Thanks
Tom, your follow-ups are the cherry on top! 🍒🎧 #CherryOnTop #SpotOnQuestions
Brilliant ❤🎉

You are the menn!!!
I felt this was one of the best episodes done in a while! So many good gems here...Now after 90 min they are a bit boring and too long lol. I hung on and listened to the entire thing. I laughed so hard when he said "I bet that this show has a lot of guys in their 20s are watching this" shout out to all the women watching this show thats geared towards more so males lol.
Great interview, but long.. 👏 So many great questions and discussions in it. Is it possible split the video into partss, reflecting each q&a in separate clip?
47 Women. Am I in the wrong crowd? Not leaving this conversation. Loving this.
Thank you for this interview. Great subject, Interviewer and Interviewee. I watch it from Germany and couldn't get the subtitles. Could you post the auto subtitle function please?
Yes, and Unhappy life is hell.
❤❤❤❤
Congratulations good job
Bad posture olympics right here. I think Arthur gets the gold.

By the way, there is an ad under this video with a silk pink fabric labeled “Blissy” with a woman’s hand feeling it with gold jewelry on…and Oprah’s Magazine is one of the sponsors…pushing these terms for profit? 🤔 You can sell happiness and bliss for a limited time only
Holy shit these guys are opening the black box of life...genius!
Peace ✌️🙏
Happiness is a trap is a trap. Here for the happiness. Gimmie.
may you be the honey and happiness be the bee, let it come to you, not you to it.
There's nothing wrong with loving things. I love my car and I love the Moon. I love my guitar and I love my belt sander. In fact, there is nothing in this vast universe that can escape my love.
In order to really talk to someone you first need to show them:
1) you have their best interest in mind
2) you understand them
3) you want to make their life situation better
otherwise whatever you gonna say is just another "Im smarter than you" episode, or a manipulation to reach your own goals at their expense

Arthur looks like an older version of Jake Gyllenhaal, or is it just me?
Great podcast as always.

Great episode ...Indian from South Africa...🤣♥️
