The Pursuit of Happiness: How to be happy?

The Muslims Down Under Podcast

Most people spend their lives chasing happiness and success, yet never seem to arrive at a happily ever after. It seems as though the only way to become happy is to attain something bigger or better, faster or fancier. We rely on materialistic pursuits to make us happy, wanting more and more.
What does it take to acquire true contentment in life?
Will achieving standards set by a materialistic society really lead to happiness?

In this episode, we explore this present-day phenomena in detail and discuss why striving towards a higher purpose by actually foregoing our personal egotistical pursuits, is the only way to achieve a pure form of happiness.
