WHO IS KEVIN?

Kevin Sandler goes to crazy lengths to answer one question:

What makes people love their lives, and what can they change to love them more?

Kevin started when he was 17, tracking his happiness for every 15 minute interval. Since then, he’s used his own life as an experiment. From changing how and where he lives, traveling, tracking, testing, interviewing people, digging through research, and occasionally taking things way too far – all to understand a life well-lived.

Along the way, he discovered something that changed the question entirely:

Feeling good in the moment isn’t the same as feeling good about one’s life in that moment.

Kevin Sandler is a speaker, writer, and obsessive experimenter exploring what makes people love their lives—and how ambitious young adults can deliberately build more of it into their own.

CORE INSIGHT

Many ambitious young adults build lives full of happy moments but still feel like something is missing

… and it might be because we’re building our lives optimized for good moments instead of lives we love to live.

A morning walk might improve someone’s mood, and better sleep might make their days easier. Those things matter, but they don’t necessarily indicate to someone whether they love their life.

Part of the disconnect is that a lot of happiness advice groups very different outcomes under one word: “happiness.” Mood, health, relationships, purpose, and overall contentment with life are different parts of a life.

However – relatively little advice focuses on the bigger picture of “what actually makes someone love their life?”

The answer differs from person to person, so the goal isn’t to find one universal blueprint, it’s to help people figure out their own.

“[he has] a clear desire to get the most out of his young life: to see everything, to do everything”
