## Resource

What if happiness isn’t the goal? This episode breaks down the concept of Virtuous Contentment; a better, stronger alternative to chasing happiness. Drawing on philosophy from Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill, and applying it through the Meaningful Few framework, George explores how to make better decisions across the six key areas of life: Family, Community, Career & Financial, Wellbeing, Personal Development, and Peace of Mind. You’ll learn how to shift from emotional decision-making to principled living, and how to allocate your Most Valuable Resources, time, attention, energy, and money, toward what truly matters. If you’re tired of drifting and ready to live with intention, this episode is for you. George’s newest book is available!
