Show Notes
Are you happy? Oh. Sorry. Was that too direct?
It’s a simple question, but it tends to make people shift in their seats.
In this episode of But Are You Happy?, Ashani Dante and clinical psychologist Anastasia Hronis finally unpack the very question that inspired the podcast and, somehow, until now, we’ve never properly answered.
Together, they explore:
- The difference between hedonic and eudaimonic happiness
- Why contentment might matter more than constant joy
- How social media and external validation can distort our idea of happiness
- A simple framework to help you cultivate more intentional, values-aligned joy
