2 American girls trying to find meaning and purpose by connecting to our ancestral roots. Growing up American, it's easy to become disconnected from traditional cultures. We believe that by connecting back to the land, to the people, and to the water we can make the world a better place to live for our generation and the ones who come after us. Our ancestors have the knowledge, we just need to learn to tap into it in a modern way Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ancestorypod/support

    Happiness Hypothesis Intro

    Happiness Hypothesis Intro

    For this Limited Series; Lucy discusses the book, The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom by Jonathan Haidt, with her friend Ashley Ward (a school psychology PhD student.


    Haidt took from world thinkers, religions, and philosophers throughout time, to come up with what he calls the 10 great ideas that make up his Happiness Hypothesis. In this episode, Lucy and Ashley discuss Haidt's ideas that he lays out in the intro of the book. And they leave you with the question, "Why do some people find meaning, purpose, and fulfillment in life and some people do not?" Which is the question Haidt hopes to answer with the 10 great ideas that make up his Happiness Hypothesis.
