What is keeping you from being happy? And is your unhappiness something you can change, or is it simply part of who you are? In this episode of the Happiness Hour, Dennis Prager explores these questions and invites listeners who struggle with unhappiness to examine what may be standing in the way of a happier life.

Through candid conversations with callers, Dennis discusses the lasting effects of childhood experiences, negative self-image, unrealistic expectations, loneliness, and the search for purpose. He challenges one caller who feels like a failure because he cannot achieve perfection, reminding him that satisfaction can come from enjoying what he accomplishes rather than constantly comparing himself to others. He also explains why making others happy, serving those around us, and practicing gratitude can help us find greater happiness, even when the world is filled with suffering.

Dennis argues that happiness is not simply a feeling we wait for, but something we have a responsibility to pursue. The first step may be asking yourself a simple but important question: Is your unhappiness fixed or fixable?
