Happiness vs. Joy – is there even a difference?
While there are many perspectives (like most things 😉), current research points to joy as an inner feeling. Happiness is an outward expression. Even though we may seek it, desire it, pursue it, etc., feeling happiness is not a choice we make. Joy, on the other hand, is a choice we purposefully make, which has been shown to be a game changer for various health and well-being outcomes.
So how can we purposefully pursue joy for the sake of joy? Well, the TED organization did some of the work for you already. Check out this curated playlist of videos on how to notice and build joy into your life.
