If Happiness is Your Goal, You’ve Got the Wrong Goal
Ah, the pursuit of happiness. Life, liberty, and all that. This may be a bit controversial, but hear me out. Finding or creating happiness should not actually be your ultimate goal in life. “But James, why?!” Well, I’m glad you asked. You don’t need to hear this from me or anyone else because you’ve experienced…

I have always been fascinated by psychology. For the past decade I have taken classes on the subject, had thousands of conversations with people (literally) about their relationships and what makes them tick, read as many books as I could find, and even wrote a book on finding love within yourself.
