Finding Peace And Purpose By Thinking Like A Monk | This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox and Four Sigmatic\nNever before have so many people been so dissatisfied\u2014or so preoccupied with chasing \u201chappiness.\u201d Our culture and media feed us images and concepts about who and what we should be, while holding up models of what accomplishment and success should look like. We seek more and more, in a circuit that leads to frustration, disillusion, dissatisfaction, unhappiness, and exhaustion.\nOn this episode of The Doctor\u2019s Farmacy, I was excited to chat with Jay Shetty about how to uncover your true passion and purpose, stop living based on other people\u2019s opinions, and start living a life that is true to you.
