And again, he wasn't a hedonist in the modern sense. He was actually a highly moral character. But the whole point is to have peace in your life and surround yourself with people who like you and to have non-disagreeable conversations and to set your life up that has as little conflict as possible, which is catastrophically wrong.

Because unless you have sanctified suffering in your life, you will not become strong, you will not learn, you will not grow, and you'll make no progress on your life.

Which is inevitable. It will. My students ask me, so professor, are you saying I need to go look for suffering? I say, don't worry, we'll find you.

Exactly right.

Exactly right.

Because happiness isn't a feeling. Feelings and happiness are like the smell of your Thanksgiving dinner and your Thanksgiving dinner. You would not mistake the turkey for the smell of the turkey. The feelings are associated with something that's actually a lot more tangible.

So we know, I mean, you and I are pretty interested in nutrition, that all food is a combination of protein, carbohydrates, and fat. These are the macronutrients of all food, including your Thanksgiving dinner. The macronutrients of happiness, which have residual smells, just emotions from the limbic system, the constituent parts of happiness are enjoyment, satisfaction, and meaning.

These are the three things that empirically we find in people who have overall a life that they consider to be the highest levels of well-being. Now, enjoyment is not the same thing as pleasure. On the contrary, pleasure is a limbic phenomenon. It's largely a stimulation of the ventral tegmental area and the ventral striatum of the brain.

And you tap it in all sorts of, you can get pleasure in all sorts of things. If your girlfriend says, I love you, or you have a big bump of cocaine, whatever it happens to be, you'll get the same because we have a thrifty brain. Right. But that's not enjoyment. Enjoyment is something that is permanent and can be experienced in the prefrontal cortex of the brain.
