About this episode
The episode discusses Alfred Adler's approach to happiness and behavior, contrasting it with Sigmund Freud's methods.
Interesting Things with JC #1633: "Alfred Adler & Happiness" – Alfred Adler sits with a patient and ignores their past to ask where they are going, breaking from Sigmund Freud as he treats behavior as forward movement, and this shift keeps showing up as people chase happiness directly and lose it while those focused on contribution in work, friendship, and love stabilize instead.
