Is Enjoyment the Purpose of Life?

One piece of constructive feedback we got from a supportive and enthusiastic listener shortly after launching The Gentle Art of Emotional Mastery 7-Day Audio Course was that it is presumptuous to claim that people are “made for enjoyment.”

I appreciate all the feedback we receive, and in this case Vanessa (my partner and collaborator) and I thought it would be fun to explore the idea that enjoyment is, by design, a primary purpose of life, built in to our experience through evolution, and fundamental to both surviving and thriving.

We had a really good time discussing this topic, and I hope you find our conversation provocative in the best possible way! Click below to listen –

Is joy and enjoyment built into the human experience by design? Is it presumptuous to claim that we are “made for enjoyment”? Listen to Justice and Vanessa enjoy discussing this topic!
