The pursuit of happiness is the goal of all religions and almost all spiritual writings are about how to achieve it. Most of the religions have focused on renunciation and elimination of desire. Some use this to promise happiness in the afterlife. However one can find happiness in this life and the world. In this podcast, Dr. Rajvanshi tries to explore how one can lead a happy life by channeling our desires into fruitful avenues and by curbing or sublimating our greed impulses. With explanations from neurobiology of desire and greed he tries to show their origin and how by sublimating them one can gain happiness. This podcast is based on a chapter of the same name in his book "Nature of Human Thought" published in 2010. The transcript of this podcast can be found at: https://nariphaltan.org/life.htm
