Declining Happiness

Declining Happiness

We are seemingly surrounded by scientific theorists, advice columnists and self-proclaimed lifestyle gurus—all offering formulas for happier living. And yet people today are measurably less happy than they were fifty years ago.

Social Atomisation

As humans, we evolved to thrive within tribes; those who maintain robust social networks enjoy extended lifespans and fewer health complications. Yet more and more we view ourselves as individuals, rather than co-operators; as consumers rather than participants.

Technological Dependency

There's virtually an unlimited amount of digital content available nowadays—all personally tailored to us by advanced algorithms. We're rapidly losing touch with reality as a result.

Dualism

Lifestyle Harmonics shows us how—by leaning into paradox and polarisation—we can reshape our mental landscape and recover the dignity & capacity for heroism which the modern world has largely lost.
Repolarisation

Repolarisation

Push & Pull

Push & Pull

Philosophical Insight

As with everything, new knowledge isn't all that counts. It's the skill with which we use and apply that knowledge that matters. Living, after all, is about values; it’s about choosing, doing and experiencing.

Room For Ambiguity

There's no royal road to certainty about how to thrive in our modern world: we need to immerse ourselves in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact & reason.
