Episode 177: The How of Happiness Committing to Your Goals

As physicians, we’re no strangers to long-term goals. Many of us spent years—if not decades—pursuing the dream of becoming a doctor. That kind of deep, meaningful striving can bring great fulfillment—but what happens when we achieve that goal and still feel like something’s missing?

In this episode, we explore how goals influence our happiness, why the type of goals we pursue matters, and how to realign our ambitions to create more joy, purpose, and emotional well-being. Whether you're feeling stuck, burned out, or just wondering what comes next, this conversation will help you reconnect with what truly matters to you—and inspire you to pursue it.

You’ll learn:

• Why meaningful goals are essential for lasting happiness
• The difference between intrinsic and extrinsic goals
• How approach vs. avoidance goals affect motivation
• What to do when your goals are in conflict
• How to evolve your goals as your life and priorities change
• Ways to reframe financial goals to make them more fulfilling
• A practical exercise to evaluate and refine your current goals
