You’re Not Unhappy…You’re Misunderstanding Happiness

Why does life feel empty — even when everything seems “fine”?

Fr. Mike Schmitz and Dr. Arthur Brooks, Harvard professor and bestselling author, unpack the real reason so many of us feel restless, anxious, and unfulfilled.

Drawing from both science and the Catholic faith, they explore:

🔸why pleasure isn’t the same as happiness
🔸the “arrival fallacy” and why success doesn’t satisfy
🔸how modern life trains us to avoid waiting
🔸what it actually means to find lasting joy
