This episode explores The Happiness Curve: Why Life Gets Better After 50 by Jonathan Rauch as a systems-level analysis of how biological and cognitive structures influence behavior, belief, and life satisfaction.

By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personal outcomes, the episode shows why dissatisfaction emerges predictably — and how it connects to broader evolutionary and social systems.
