Here are the three macronutrients of happiness, according to Brooks, and how you can optimize them in your life. "I talk about the sub-parts, the macronutrients of happiness." Happiness is something that we all strive for, but there isn't a clear prescription for the desired feeling. "If you're doing something that's pleasurable and can be addictive [and] you don't do it alone, then you can get enjoyment which is a source of actual authentic and enduring happiness," Brooks said. Of all three "macronutrients," purpose is the one that you need to experience the most, he noted.
