  Welcome back to Advice Session,

• 00:02

  a series here on Anything Goes where you send in your current dilemmas or anything you want advice on,

• 00:06

  and then I give you my own professional advice.

• 00:08

  In today's topic is the pursuit of pleasant emotion, okay?

• 00:13

  I'm talking about happiness, joy, fulfillment, contentment.

• 00:17

  I'm talking about a lust for life, a sparkle in the eye.

• 00:23

  You know, the good stuff, the feelings we like feeling,

• 00:26

  the feelings that when we're not feeling them, We're pursuing feeling them again, okay?

• 00:31

  It kind of feels like life is split into two parts.

• 00:34

  Feeling, pleasant emotion, and pursuing feeling pleasant emotion again.

• 00:39

  And that might be oversimplified,

• 00:41

  but if I were to really simplify my life and look at it in the emotions, that kind of rings true.

• 00:47

  Today, I'm gonna be giving you all advice, unprofessional advice,

• 00:51

  of course, as always, about the pursuit of pleasant emotion.

• 00:55

  I wish I could stay here and just say, You guys,

• 00:58

  all you gotta do is just shut your eyes and think really hard about feeling good,

• 01:01

  and then you'll feel good again.

• 01:03

  I wish I could sit here and say that, but I can't.

• 01:05

  Unfortunately, the pursuit is a bit more complex.

• 01:09

  And so without further ado, let's get into it.
