How to Be a Better Human · Summer Fridays: How to be more joyful (w/ Ingrid Fetell Lee) (re-release) · 31 Jul 2026 podcast

They're passed down, and there are seven universal emotions.

So if joy is one of those seven universal emotions that is consistent in all humans, then why do we have it?

And the sort of consensus that emerged is that joy evolved to move us toward things that would be beneficial for our survival and the thriving of the species, right?

And so when we see things that bring us joy, they're signs of what can help us thrive.

And so joy is one of the things that rewards us when we found things that can help us survive and thrive.

And so that's why it is an inconsistent state.

We evolved that way for it to be an inconsistent state.

And yet we can create more.

We can tap into that circuitry to create more of these moments of joy.

Yeah, of course I'm going to fall into the joy is never inappropriate bucket.

I mean, I remember after my grandmother passed, my cousin and I were driving through the cemetery after the burial.

And there was a car that was just like covered in flowers.

And there was a giant picture of the deceased.

It was someone else, you know, and just covered in flowers.

And it had this very festive look.

Look to it.

And it was not our grandmother at all.

And we both just saw it and we burst out laughing and we said, and he just said, that is so not Nana.

And we both just were laughing so hard at this, you know, and it was this moment of, of release and relief that we were in a way we were celebrating her.

We were laughing and we were grieving at the same time.
