Path to Peace with Todd Perelmuter
Why Chasing Happiness Makes Us Unhappy — and What Actually Brings Peace
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We live in a world that tells us we should always be happy.
So we smile, say we’re “doing great,” and hide what we’re really feeling — even from the people closest to us.
But what if this constant pressure to be happy is actually making things worse?
In this podcast, we explore how forcing happiness, avoiding discomfort, and chasing pleasure can create more suffering, not less. You’ll learn why unhappiness is not a failure, why trying to “fix” it can backfire, and how acceptance, awareness, and stillness can lead to a deeper, more natural sense of peace. The goal isn’t to be happy all the time — it’s to stop fighting what you feel and discover what’s already there beneath it.
