Mel Robbins: The Simple Truth About Chasing Happiness

Everything in Mel Robbins' life was going right.
She still gripped onto the one thing making her unhappy.
She calls it the campaign of misery.
A constant drumbeat of negativity that ran in her head for 50 years.
She fixed her marriage and her finances.
She built the business everyone sees now.
But the voice never stopped.

In this clip, Mel Robbins and Jay Shetty ask why so many of us don't believe we deserve to be happy.

Why mediocrity feels safer than wanting something.
And why staying busy is just a socially acceptable way to outrun how you actually feel.

Learn about the morning on a Vermont deck that changed how Mel defines contentment.
And why settling for the pain you already know might cost you more than the risk ever would.
