How to Prioritize Joy 4kf16

In adulthood, we are often forced to recalibrate our relationship with joy. As responsibilities multiply exponentially, time grows limited, and challenges amount, it becomes harder to make time for fun, let alone what it feels like. As we explore the key components of happiness—pleasure, joy, and satisfaction—we ask the foundational question: What really brings me joy? In this special edition bonus episode of How to Build a Happy Life, psychotherapist and Atlantic columnist, Lori Gottlieb, demystifies one of the vital components of a happy life: enjoyment. Gottlieb believes we not only find it challenging to make time for day-to-day enjoyment, but also struggle to identify what it should feel like.
