About this episode
Jim Carrey famously commented,
"I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer."
Even self-help gurus are moving away from the idea of pursuing "happiness", talking instead about meaning or fulfillment.
Listen in on today's Strong By Design podcast as Mike Westerdal and Chris Wilson discuss this endless pursuit of happiness in a material world filled with distraction, anxiety and depression with Bob Brubaker and John Trebino from the PowerBreak podcast.
"All of this pursuit of happiness is meaningless without God." (King Solomon)
-Mike Westerdal
