The Science Of Happiness: Why We Pursue The Wrong Things
Over the years I’ve worked with many patients who “worked their butt off” for decades at their jobs in order to stop working in their 60’s and enjoy retirement. They tell me they’ve put in their time, saved up enough, had their retirement party, and walked away from work with the biggest smiles.
Fast forward a year and their bucket list is complete but they’re in rehab because the retired life they worked so hard for turned out to be mostly spent deepening the butt crease in the recliner. Their mind and body suffered as a result and now their retirement is “ruined.” They watch TV show after show contemplating why they worked so hard the past 45 years to now be working on basic life skills in therapy like being able to get dressed and walk without help.
It happens again and again. They’re always so far from being the happy people they imagined. Buy why?
What Is The Growth Kit?
I'm Brian Comly, a dad, husband, health and fitness enthusiast, and the founder of MindBodyDad.com.
I launched MindBodyDad in 2022 after realizing that I could combine my hobby of science-based self-experimentation and improvement with my love of teaching others. As a nerdy type who is always looking to find better solutions and improve upon different areas of my life, I realized that I could help way more than myself and my family as I dug through the science. Since then I've written on a range of topics that pique my interest including the Zone 2 training, baby-led weaning, seed oils, productivity strategies, baby reflexes, rucking, vision, behavior management strategies, sleep strategies, the benefits of weight lifting, takeaways from my favorite books, interviews with experts in a variety of fields, and lessons I've learned as an occupational therapist. Each of these articles provide practical nuggets of information meant to help you grow.
Now, I'm bringing each of those articles to you with the help of a voice AI. I created The Growth Kit podcast to continue providing practical strategies to improve your life, but now it’s coming through your ears instead of your eyes.
