Why do we keep telling ourselves that happiness is just around the corner? In this episode, Dave Flenagan and Zoe Hirsch unpack Dr. Stef Huber's powerful article, "The Myth of 'Later'," which challenges the dangerous habit of postponing joy for an imagined perfect future.

Huber argues that by constantly waiting for the “right moment,” we rob ourselves of opportunities and happiness in the here and now. Using quotes from Steve Jobs and Jordan Peterson, she emphasizes the importance of setting priorities and living intentionally, rather than letting life slip by while chasing an undefined future.
