Living by your values
Whose values are you living by?
For many of us, it can be shocking to realize that our lives are guided by values that we didn't choose for ourselves. They were chosen for us, in large part by Old Happy culture.
From the beginning of our lives, we have received millions and millions of messages about how to be, what to pursue, and who matters. These value-laden messages end up shaping our decisions in countless ways, and, as I argue in New Happy, they are making us miserable.
The next time you're contemplating making a choice, pause and ask yourself: "Is this aligned with my values, or am I choosing it to conform to another's values?" These simple acts of awareness can end up making a huge difference.
