Episode notes

Positive Psychology applied to the shortness of life. This episode is a repeat of a masterclass from last year on living wider and deeper with psychologist and author Jodi Wellman.

We cover:

The walking dead vs astonishingly alive
Overcoming habits and autopilot living
Regret avoidance and controlling your life
Useful positivity vs toxic positivity

As they say "Get busy living, or get busy dying".

Jodi has a morbid fascination with positive ideas from existential psychology to help brighten your day.
