This talk goes over why seeking pleasure from the world (through seeking money, status, fame, entertainment, etc.) won't bring you true happiness. Instead, finding inner fulfillment through meditative practice and lifestyle leads to greater happiness. I discuss the story of Prince Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, (who had all the trappings of a "good life" by western standards) but abandoned it to seek something greater.
