Welcome Episode 2 of our Are You Happy series! 

First, we are joined by sisters Jesam and Nini Onun, who provide their unique perspectives in efforts to help us help us answer the question "as adults, have we overcomplicated the concept of happiness, or as kids was the concept of happiness oversimplified to us".  

Secondly, with Jesam, we explore questions around how social  and cultural determinants can  impact peoples' definitions of happiness. Do we have the ability to define happiness for others? How do understandings of happiness differ between cultures? 

Join us for a whirlwind conversation, sprinkled with a little sociology,  psychology, and a lot of good thoughts for reflection. 

Disclaimer: we do touch on topics that can be triggering, such as substance use disorder between 27:48 -28:30.
