## Resource

Mike Slater sits down with Richard C. Lyons to unpack what “the pursuit of happiness” really means beyond the common clichés. They explore how modern interpretations often miss the original intent behind the phrase and what it looks like in practice today. The conversation dives into practical insights on fulfillment, purpose, and how to rethink happiness in everyday life.
