DeepSummary
In this excerpt, Jay Shetty discusses his perspective on happiness, which he believes comes from two sources: daily habits and a deeper sense of purpose. The daily habits that contribute to happiness include engaging in activities that create a state of flow, where one's skills and challenges are balanced. Shetty suggests that people should assess whether they need to improve their skills or increase their challenges to achieve this flow state.
Shetty also emphasizes the importance of learning something new, launching something, and loving something each year as a framework for cultivating happiness. Learning a new skill prepares one for launching a new endeavor, which in turn can lead to loving that endeavor. This cycle of continuous growth and achievement creates a sense of excitement and fulfillment.
Ultimately, Shetty believes that the deepest form of happiness comes from finding one's passion and using it in the service of others. By combining personal fulfillment with a sense of purpose and contribution, individuals can experience a profound and enduring sense of happiness.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
DOAC
1/26/24
In this moment, the podcaster, author, and life coach, Jay Shetty discusses how he believes people can find happiness. Jay says that it can be found in two forms, the sort of happiness that comes from daily habits and a more enriching happiness that arises out of deeper purposes. While most of us know what we can do for our daily happiness levels, deeper happiness that comes from finding our meaning and purpose in life is more complicated and vague. However, for Jay this deeper happiness comes from locating your passion, and more than just finding what you love, using this passion in the service of others, as this brings the most enriching happiness in life.
