EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Chris Williamson and Ty Tashiro, How To Find Your “Happily Ever After” - Ty Tashiro explores Science-Backed Guide To Lasting Love: Traits, Traps, And Timing Chris Williamson and psychologist Ty Tashiro dissect why “happily ever after” is so rare, blending large-scale relationship data with practical dating advice. They explain how divorce risk, chronic unhappiness, and our biology make modern long-term love difficult, especially when people overvalue looks, money, and excitement. Ty outlines which personality traits, attachment styles, and life patterns most strongly predict lasting satisfaction and which reliably blow relationships up. They also explore how to improve your odds through better partner selection, self-knowledge, environment design, and deliberately increasing your ‘luck’ in meeting the right people.
