Redefining Happiness: Insights from Psychology PhD students, Yoonseo and Ji Won

Can happiness be found in the little moments of life rather than grand achievements? Join us as Psychology PhD students Yoonseo Zoh and Ji Won Yang share their perspectives on the Soom Podcast. Discover how understanding the individualized nature of happiness can transform your approach to finding joy.

Ever wondered why higher salaries, better jobs, and more followers don't necessarily equate to lasting happiness? We dissect this common misconception and emphasize the importance of self-cognition and aligning personal needs with well-being. Our conversation takes a deeper look at how societal expectations and social media contribute to unrealistic standards of happiness.

What happens when life doesn't go according to plan? We reflect on the importance of flexibility and open-mindedness in our pursuit of happiness. Hear about the psychological impact of anxiety on decision-making and why short-term goals can sometimes be more beneficial than rigid long-term plans.

Don't miss this enriching discussion that could redefine your understanding of happiness and how to achieve it in your daily life.
