What actually makes us happy? Society claims life experiences, achievement, hot yoga, good hair days, and other things are what we can do to enjoy our lives. But what happens if none of these things actually work? Alex discusses how his experiences as a cancer patient revealed a new perspective on how our subconscious derives joy, how society influences our perception of enjoyment, and how we can all make small adjustments in our lives to achieve the paramount goal we are all chasing: unconditional happiness.
