Hacks to live a happier life

1. Meditation won't make you happy and what to do about it People are constantly searching for ways to be happy. Some believe that meditation is the solution, while others seek happiness through material possessions or success in their careers. Here's the problem, you cannot rely on a single solution to find happiness. For humans, happiness is more complex and won't be solved by only meditating. Instead, look to your ancestors for patterns of living that promote physical and emotional well-being. Regrets of the Average Modern Human People's major regrets tend to be: Who they marry Their education Their career These are the big things that you need to get right to find happiness. While it is not easy to make the right decisions in these areas, they are critical to leading a fulfilling life. Humans have evolved over generations, and we have developed patterns of living that promote happiness. I call them "The Whispers of 10,000 Generations". Patterns like: Working with friends and family: We are social creatures and thrive on connections with others. Don't underestimate that. Working with friends and family can provide a sense of community and purpose. Recreating the Savannah effect by spending time in open spaces: Humans evolved in open spaces. Whether the savannah's of Africa, or the plains and valleys in the Americas. Spending time in open spaces can promote physical and emotional well-being. Seeing multiple age groups every day: In traditional societies, people of all ages worked and lived together. This pattern can promote a sense of community and connection. The modern world's patterns of living, with its nuclear families, long work hours, and isolated social circles, are militating against human happiness. In your life, you won't relate exclusively to one age group, you will interact with people your age, older, and younger. Think about it, in a small hunter-gatherer society, you would likely interact with children, people your age, and the elderly. Limitations of Meditation as a Solution to Happiness Meditation has its benefits, it increases your serotonin, raises you brain's alpha wave activity, amongst other things. But meditation alone cannot address the complex problems that modern humans face. Adopting a systematic pattern of living that addresses your physical and emotional well-being is more effective. Spend time outdoors, go for a walk in nature, interact with animals, work with your friends and family, and expose yourself to multiple age groups as much as you can. Conclusion Meditation can be helpful, but don't use it as a "happiness pill". Happiness is more complex than "focusing on your breathing". Look at where in your life you can adopt a pattern of living that mimics what your ancestors did for thousands of years. Don't try to fight the Whispers of 10,000 Generations, use them. 2. Where should you live and base your life? Have you ever asked yourself that? Most people don't. I'll tell you what though, people like Jeff Bezos have thought about this question deeply… At some point in his business career, he did his research and decided on Seattle because he wanted to stay in the US, there were no state taxes, and there was a big pool of employees he could draw from that already worked at Microsoft. He got into nitty-gritty details like how many non-stop flights there were coming into the airport. That's useful for business meetings. Should you use the same thought process? Not necessarily, depends on your goal. But where you live will affect pretty much everything in your life. There is a good amount of research on how much your zip code affects your success, your health, your social life, and your overall happiness. Where you live is something you need to take into account to build the foundation for the 4 Pillars of The Good Life. Let me try to shortcut this process for you. This is something I've been thinking about for years and developed some frameworks you can use to figure out the answer that's best suited for you. The 3 best frameworks I've found to answer this question are: - Where will you have the best social life? - Where is the healthiest place you can live? - Where could you build the best career for yourself? - Where is the happiest place you could live? Yes, those questions are based on the 4 Pillars of The Good Life - Health, Wealth, Love, and Happiness. Let's dive a little deeper into where will you be the most socially engaged. Friends, family, and romance Interestingly, most people take into consideration family. The majority of people live near where most of their family lives. That's valid. But, the modern world is complicated and family now spreads out. Not to mention that a lot of people don't have that "traditional" mom and dad structure. Friends is a good one as well, but I also think you should consider going where you are going to have your best romantic prospects. There are places with more people that will likely fit your "type". Don't shy away from what you like, at a biological level, there are reasons why you are attracted to a specific type of person. If you go to a place where there are thousands of people that fit your type, whatever it might be, you're more likely to find a mate you're compatible with. It's called being in a "thick market". That's an economic term. If you talk to my mentor, the evolutionary psychologist, David Buss, Ph.D. he'll tell you that "everything is mating". Your choice of mate, who you have kids with, will be one of the most important decisions you make in your life. Actually, it's probably the most important decision you will make in your life. Choose wisely, and make sure you put yourself in a position where you have an abundance of choices.
