How To Be Happy In A World That’s Falling Apart | Ep. 58
Is happiness just an illusion, or can we truly pursue it? In this powerful episode, former Navy SEAL David Rutherford takes you on a deep dive into the real meaning behind “the pursuit of happiness.”
Drawing from the wisdom of Jefferson, Locke, Mason, Cicero, Aristotle, and the Stoics, Rut explains why the Founding Fathers made this phrase central to American identity—and why modern culture has twisted it into a shallow chase for pleasure and material gain.
👉 You’ll learn:
-
Why Jefferson chose happiness over property
-
How Cicero and the Stoics connected happiness to virtue and wisdom
-
The dangers of confusing happiness with materialism
-
A practical challenge to live with courage, honesty, gratitude, and other timeless virtues
It’s time to reclaim the revolutionary spirit of happiness—rooted in virtue, sacrifice, and wisdom.
