It creates language for what motivates us and helps us look at the way we look at everything else. Most importantly the enneagram is a mirror; because sometimes you need help seeing yourself.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-22T02:21:11.609301+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/around-the-circle-an-enneagram-channel-86508"},"episode":{"title":"Happiness | \"Atlas of the Heart\" | Chapter 11","slug":"happiness-atlas-of-the-heart-chapter-11","published_at":"2026-09-07T14:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/around-the-circle-an-enneagram-channel-86508/happiness-atlas-of-the-heart-chapter-11","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/around-the-circle-an-enneagram-channel-86508","url":"https://www.aroundthecircle.org/episodes/","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/545426a6-9221-4cb6-b624-1b8b8f0f49ea.mp3","summary":"In this episode of Around the Circle, Jeff continues through Brené Brown’s Atlas of the Heart , looking at the places we go when life is good: joy, happiness, calm, contentment, gratitude, relief, and tranquility. Along the way, he asks a bigger philosophical question: What if these emotions don’t simply describe how we feel, but offer clues about what human beings are made for? This time, Jeff brings Brown into conversation with Aristotle, Socrates, Jesus, Aquinas, and C.S. Lewis, contrasting momentary pleasure with a much richer vision of happiness as human flourishing. Aristotle’s eudaimonia , Aquinas’s union with the highest good, and the Beatitudes all point toward happiness as something deeper than favorable circumstances. Lastly, we turn toward gratitude, foreboding joy, and tranquility—and the practices that help us build a life characterized by wisdom, moderation, virtue, and joy. What habits spiral us upward? And what if the best life isn’t simply one that feels good, but one in which our character truly flourishes? #AtlasOfTheHeart #BreneBrown #Enneagram #Happiness #AroundTheCircle","meta_description":"In this episode of Around the Circle, Jeff continues through Brené Brown’s Atlas of the Heart , looking at the places we go when life is good: joy, happin…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3317,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/around-the-circle-an-enneagram-channel-86508/episodes/happiness-atlas-of-the-heart-chapter-11/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/around-the-circle-an-enneagram-channel-86508/happiness-atlas-of-the-heart-chapter-11.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
