Feuding with Lex Fridman (Pt. 2) | Gad Saad | ACADEMIA | Rubin Report

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Gad Saad, an evolutionary behavioral scientist and author of the book "The Saad Truth About Happiness" about tricks to overcome difficult life situations and moments of feeling stuck or in a funk; how focusing on regret and placing arbitrary barriers on your mind can prevent you from pursuing opportunities that could lead to happiness; his feud with Lex Fridman; inspiring examples of individuals who pursued their dreams later in life, showing that age should not limit one's aspirations. The conversation also touches on the concept of existential authenticity and how being true to oneself can lead to greater happiness. They discuss the difference between short-term happiness and long-term contentment, emphasizing the value of pursuing rich experiences over material possessions for lasting joy. Gad Saad shares personal insights about the importance of family and genuine connections in bringing him happiness.
