Episode Overview

  • Happiness is tied to our subconscious perception of survival
  • Actions that increase survival likelihood contribute to happiness
  • Drinking alcohol decreases the perception of survival
  • Cultural conditioning influences attitudes towards alcohol consumption

Drinking alcohol decreases our subconscious perception of probability of survival. Therefore, instead of having happiness, we have fear and worry and regret, sadness and depression.

Using engaging stories and thought-provoking questions, James challenges the societal norms around drinking. He urges listeners to reflect on how their choices affect their quality of life.
