Exposing the Real Reason Sex May Not Create Happiness (Pt. 1) | Gad Saad | ACADEMIA | Rubin Report

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Gad Saad, an evolutionary behavioral scientist and author of the book "The Sad Truth About Happiness" about the idea of pursuing happiness versus purpose; how happiness should result from adopting the right mindsets and decisions; the importance of finding purpose and meaning in one's daily life through creative pursuits; how choosing the right spouse and profession significantly impacts happiness; how individuals in mundane jobs can find creative activities outside of work; the challenge of balancing short-term pleasures with long-term contentment and the importance of knowing oneself in relationships. Gad Saad also explains the concept of "birds of a feather, flock together" in evolutionary mating, where shared values and life goals lead to greater long-term happiness in relationships. The discussion also includes the significance of assortative mating in terms of physical traits like height.
