This week we sit down with author and educator Jon Eckert to talk about his new book The Happiness Crisis and why the pursuit of happiness is actually keeping people from finding it. Jon breaks down how adversity, belonging, and curiosity are the real building blocks of a joyful life — and why Gen Z may be the generation that finally gets it right. Send this one to every parent, teacher, and young adult in your life, and grab a copy of The Happiness Crisis wherever books are sold! https://a.co/d/08kTjIow
