How To Be Happy? Mindset & Wellness TEDx Talk Explains The Formula For Happiness

\"Where do the happy people live?\" Mindset and wellness expert, Sonia Jhas answers this in her latest TEDx Talk. She explains that for many people, happiness is a destination that we can get to, as long as we do everything that our parents - and society - says that we should do.

If we drive fast enough, take the highway, and just keep pushing, eventually...eventually, we can find happiness. But what if, just what if, the definition of “happiness” by society is not even what we want?

With the recent release of her December 2021 TEDx Talk on YouTube, Sonia Jhas reexamines the pressures many women – and men – face in their lives.  Raised in a traditional Indian family, Jhas was set to be on the “road to happiness”, checking all the boxes in her family's \"happiness to-do list\", including getting married, until she realized that that wasn’t what she wanted. 

In her talk, “Where do the happy people live?”, Jhas asks you why you chase dreams that aren’t your own.  She explains that social media has become an impossible dream, where we begin comparing ourselves not even to their peers but to the whole world. 

Even if most people understand that some pictures are heavily filtered or edited, the fact remains that there is a “what if” that is reflected in what is seen on the screen.  When we define our happiness by what society tells us are the ingredients to it, where do we turn to when we don’t like the final dish? 

She says, “I believe it’s time for us to un-layer and reconnect with ourselves. It’s time for us to come back home to who we really are. It’s time for us to redefine happiness.\" \"My hope is that my talk will help you take an honest look at what you really want for yourself.”
