What Is “Happiness”? Discovering Meaning On The Silk Road w/ Will Rickard Zero To Travel Podcast

    • Places & Travel

What is your current relationship with 'happiness'? How does travel affect your happiness and why? What roles do contentment, purpose, & gratitude play in your daily habits?
Happiness may feel like the fabled Phoenix that rises, burns bright, and then turns to ashes, but have you been possibly looking at it the wrong way and with the wrong intentions?
Today's guest, Will Rickard, is the author of The Silk Road To Happiness, which took him to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Afghanistan over 3 months in the pursuit of happiness and its meaning. Will left the corporate dream job to embark on a journey both in travel and within himself and came out of it with a perspective that non-travelers may never know. We talk about his adventures in the 'Stans, how being enthusiastic is important & different from passion, and the 5 things that constitute a good life. Break free from your slump in pursuit of your happiness!
If you were to pursue your happiness, where would that take you? Share your thoughts by sending me an audio message.
