In this episode, Aaron and Trishul apply previous conversations about happiness and well-being to the upcoming holidays. Being conscious and aware of the things that provide happiness OR the things that create stress can help you focus on ways to increase the former and decrease the latter. They reminisce over holiday nostalgia. They discuss the impact of expectations and the need to get creative for the 2020 holiday season. Prioritizing time over money is a big theme in increasing happiness for both the gifter and the giftee. And because they just couldn't help themselves, they discuss Qualified Charitable Distributions and gifting appreciated stock to charities.
