A ânsia de ter, e o tédio de possuir

Why does happiness always seem out of reach? In this video, we explore the idea that happiness is often an illusion that keeps us trapped in a relentless pursuit. Based on Érico Veríssimo's work "Fantasies," we analyze how expectations and idealizations shape our relationship with happiness. We'll discuss this topic from different perspectives: • Psychology: Understand how our brain deceives us about what truly makes us happy. • Neuroscience: Discover the role of dopamine and the impact of the reward system on the pursuit of happiness. • Philosophy: Reflect on how classical and modern thinkers view happiness. • Daily Life: See how this is reflected in our choices, routines, and the world of social media. Based on scientific studies, classic books, and contemporary reality, this video offers a profound and reflective approach to happiness, which seems so close, yet always so distant.
