In this episode, we explore the concept of joy, distinguishing it from fleeting happiness. Joy is described as a deep sense of contentment and gladness that activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting calmness.

Emphasis is placed on being present, embracing genuine joy over chasing temporary happiness, and the vulnerability of sharing joy.
