You need credibility to be considered an expert.  Easiest way is to show receipts - That's why influencers post pics and indie hackers post revenue.

But happiness has no receipts.

Are you going to have a Continuous Cortisol Monitor?

I think this is why people post how often they meditate or how they deprive themselves, because these are tangible receipts and why would they do something painful unless it's "worth it" in some way.

Happiness for me comes from introspection.  But you have to find your own path to happiness and it's hard to find a model because you don't know if anyone is actually happy or if their path is applicable for you.

It's hard to show happiness instead of showing how much money you're spending.

But the pursuit of happiness is fundamental and we want to share what works for us.
