Episode notes

A personal exploration into the pursuit of happiness, this chapter follows the speaker's transformative journey from traditional paths of happiness to a deeper understanding of well-being. Reflecting on their decision to study positive psychology and share their insights, the chapter challenges societal norms and external influences on the true essence of happiness.

What if everything society told you about how to find happiness was misleading? My guest Stephanie Harrison, author of New Happy: Getting Happiness Right in a World That's Got It Wrong, challenges the cultural conditioning around chasing achievements, wealth, and status as the path to joy.

She provides insights from positive psychology research and her own experience with depression to unravel the myths behind our collective pursuit of happiness. Stephanie offers a practical philosophy centered on sharing our gifts of humanity, wisdom, and talent to create ripples of lasting well-being for ourselves and others. Tune in to rethink what true happiness means and how you can live it.
