Stop Chasing Happiness. It’s Making You Miserable | | Masterminds Podcast EP24

Описание: Everyone is looking for happiness, but the more we chase it, the further it runs. This episode breaks down the Backwards Law: the idea that trying too hard to feel good actually makes you feel worse.

In this solo Masterminds episode, Richie Mensah dives into why so many people feel stuck, restless, and unfulfilled, not because life is bad, but because they’re chasing the wrong things. This is a conversation about acceptance, meaning, value, and building a life that feels good from the inside out.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why chasing happiness creates anxiety and emptiness
The Backwards Law and how it applies to your daily life
Why “more” never feels like enough
The trap of chasing money, validation, and pleasure
How acceptance creates peace and clarity
The mindset that leads to real, lasting happiness
