337: I'm RICH but I DIDN'T EARN it – Can I EVER be HAPPY? Should I be CONCERNED about all the NEGATIVITY in the news?

Evolutionary psychologist, Doug Lisle, PhD discusses listener questions with host, Nathan Gershfeld.

Question 1: How do I get back to being happy with so much violence and negativity swirling around in the news and in the world? No matter what has been going on in my life, I have always tended to be happy and optimistic, but recently it feels like everything seems pretty bleak in the world and it is bringing me down. I truly don't have any reason to be unhappy- I am part of a magic 10% marriage, I have a good job and great friends and make good money, and truly, want for nothing, but I am fighting feeling sad and anxious about everything going on around me even though I don't watch the news and am not on social media.

Question 2: Dear Dr. Lisle, I'm a 25 year old woman and I am unmotivated, have no career, no passions or purpose in life because my family is extremely rich. I am set to inherit a ton of money (tens of millions of dollars) from my parents, so basically I am set for life if I do absolutely nothing for the rest of my life. I didn't go to college because I knew I was going to inherit all this money and I didn't think it was worth it. Now, I literally don't know what to do with my life. Other people need to work to live. I have more money than they will ever make in their lifetime and I didn't even do anything to earn it. My parents tell me to do whatever I want because I'll be rich anyway. I'm embarrassed to date because I have no interesting personality characteristics; I have no career, I'm unmotivated, no passions, no purpose in life. I'm just a spoiled rich girl who inherited daddy's money, who's going to love me for who I am? How am I going to spend the next 50 years of my life? I feel unmotivated to do anything because I'm already rich but then I feel guilty for having nothing to offer to the world. What should I do?
