If you want to be happy in a lasting way, you must ask yourself, “What am I willing to struggle for? What am I willing to be disliked for?”

One reason Christians tend to be happier than non-religious people is that these two questions are baked into our theology—but it’s more Who than what.

Our culture has become brilliantly optimized for hedonia—every app, advertisement, and algorithm is engineered to deliver quick comforts and emotional highs. Yet the research—and our own depleted lives—show that chasing these highs often leaves us emptier. True, lasting satisfaction comes not as something we grasp directly, but as a byproduct of something far richer.
