Part 3 “The pursuit of Happiness and Joy”
Suddenly, the pub’s heavy wooden door creaked open, letting in a chilling gust of wind that swept through the room, extinguishing a few candles.
The lively chatter fell silent as all eyes turned toward the entrance. A dark, shadowy figure stood silhouetted against the stormy night, clad in a long white cloak that concealed his face.
Without hesitation, the figure stepped forward, his movements deliberate and unnervingly smooth. The room seemed to hold its breath as the stranger approached the table.
James “Who is he must think hes Gandalf the White”
Simon “I thought he was with you”
Sage smiles “The Boxing Scientist”
James “Why doesnt he reveal his face”
The cloaked white figure laughs “Coz I am too handsome looking now follow me”
All 4 walk out of the pub onto the hill. The wind howling in the background.

My stack is too full to add this title but did manage to squeeze in a couple of short test loops.
Have had the book Inner Joy by Harold Bloomfield and Robert Kory on my shelf for 15+ years, finally started reading it the other day and can’t put it down.
Learned a new word. Anhedonia: The inability to experience pleasure.
Here are some notes from the book
Not in a rush break my stack for this title as next cycle is DRG ST4 which has joy scripting in it and if EOG is updated by then will swap out HOM for EOG which will have joy scripting as well.
I have sent this title to people that are on the fence with subclub as a risk free way to try it. Can only lead a horse to water.

I have definently felt a slight increase in overall contentment. It’s been nice to get off of wealth subs for a bit and just focus on happiness. This pairs very well with my primal and PR custom.
I have allowed myself to have more fun lately with Primal so I’m excited to become a bit more light hearted. I definitely became a lot more tense while doing my Khan makeover.

I feel so much happiness and joy right now, but I’m noticing some recon where I want to listen to other subs, even though I am only committed to this title and today is a rest day. Tomorrow is my last listening day before my washout until the new year, and the subs that still feel desirable will be considered for my new year stack.

Can you guys go deeper on the recon?
And add what your listening time and schedule 
Every other day full loops only. I’ve done 3 full loops so far.
I feel like I was trying to sabotage my happiness and joy by listening to other titles on rest day. I noticed and allowed myself to sit with that until it passed.
Edit: I feel good so I better do something to mess that up (old pattern)

I had a similar experience when I paired AoH with EmpDaddy for a day; the contrast between the hard alpha-focused title and the silky smooth one felt awkward and unsettling. I stacked it with WB this morning, and it feels amazing!
I always adhere to 1 Minute, regardless of the title, to avoid recon.

I don’t experience extremely difficult recon much anymore. I’ve found things that help me stay fairly balanced. The full loops are okay for me.
Although, I definitely had a handful of really bad recon days this year where I had a migraine and some apathy.
I’m really noticing MAJOR shifts in my home with my kids since this title. It’s kind of surreal!

It feels like heaven 
I understand, that was tough, but thankfully it’s over.

Sorry just gonna keep spamming this thread because I think this sub is just really practical. Which is what’s needed the most when trying to cultivate happiness in your life. As someone that consistently engaged in spiritual bypassing, this sub honestly feels like the exact opposite of that. I really appreciate what’s done with the script and not just trying to create the feeling of happiness, but have the user cultivate it for themselves. Teach a man/woman to fish and all that.

Interesting 
Stacked or Not Stacked ???
Technically it’s in a 3 title stack, but I run it solo in the listening schedule which gives me a more clear picture of what it’s doing.

What is your favorite part about ‘The Art of Happiness’ so far?
For me, it’s been the inner peace and deep contemplation. Other than that, I haven’t felt the extraordinary bliss like LBFH, although I know it’s a different title.

I really like the contemplation too. That in combination with the letting go really helps open my eyes to what needs to change in my life.
I’ll give an example of how fast it helped me. The issue I was having with my job I had mentioned previously had me absolutely fuming. I hated their actions and I put too much weight in what those actions meant about me. And ALL the toxic garbage I tolerated for years at this company. It rose up for about 3 days where I was absolutely feral (prob fenrir in my custom). But it tempered today, I realized all their actions are a product of their messed up environment being projected onto me. So I’m moving forward with a plan that gives me the most happiness and I’m able to let go of all the conflicting stuff to the point where I can make really calculated and strategic moves to give myself the best outcome (also my custom containing the manipulus module) .
So in my experience so far this sub is like rocket fuel for the rest of the stack expressing itself.

I’m curious what are the cores in your custom? Just asking because I’ve had the same modules and dealing with similar issues when I made my Survival Instinct/Spartan custom.

Running my first loop, will update on how it goes. This sub came at a crucial time in my life.
So far I’m feeling very relaxed, admiring the girl I just got and put to sleep with the D. I feel very proud of myself. I feel super bubbly, contained bubbly… I wasn’t taking it in on what I just did but now I am. I’m grateful for being a man, its a weird thing to say but it’s how I feel.
Will run this for 7min, currently on 5.

It’s kinda kitchen sinky but I swear it’s been working lol. Some of these modules would definitely be expressing themselves in my current situation. But AoH is kind of able to take that raw energy from the modules and utilize it in a more practical way. Hard to explain. It’s like a bridge to results. Something very different than I’m used to.

Yes, it’s true! I brought chaos so that you could look at yourselves from a different perspective, not to quarrel over every word.So don’t be mad at me…
