About this episode
Rabbi Noiky Roberts discusses the pressures of modern life in America, including financial stress and the pursuit of happiness.
America is wealthier than ever. We have bigger homes, nicer cars, more technology, more convenience, and more opportunities than any generation before us. So why do so many people feel exhausted? Rabbi Noiky Roberts has spent nearly 30 years teaching, counseling, and helping people from all walks of life. Living outside the United States has given him a unique perspective on the pressures many of us have simply accepted as normal. In this conversation, we discuss the rat race, social media, financial pressure, comparison culture, happiness, family, mental health, and why so many people keep chasing things that never seem to satisfy. Some of what he says may make you uncomfortable. That may be the point. Listen closely and enjoy.
