Chasing Happiness: A Guaranteed Unhappiness!

"A person with a toothache thinks everyone without a toothache is happy..." So, where exactly is that happiness we all chase? Is it truly a destination, or just a state of mind?

In this episode of Open Brain with Sinan Canan, we surgically dissect the concept of "happiness," which consumes human life. We explore, with neuroscientific facts, why pleasures don't bring happiness, why success is a dangerous word, and why our brains experience a "chemical feast" when we help someone. According to human nature, happiness is not what we expect from the outside world, but rather an internal state of acceptance and balance.

Some questions you will find answers to in this episode:

Why do we feel pain when moments of pleasure end?

Why do money and success stop making us happy after a certain point?

How does that fine line between our expectations and reality determine our happiness?

What "goodness hormones" are released in our brains when we help someone else?

What is Sinan Canan's famous "Happiness Test," and can you pass it?
