221: How to Make Happiness Practical, with Dr. Ellen Wong

How do you make the intangible feeling of happiness practical and actionable? In today’s episode, I’m joined by Chief Happiness Officer Dr. Ellen Wong as she shares the nine pillars of happiness, and tangible ways we can actually measure this in our everyday lives.

 

This conversation covers:

• Why happiness is not just about reaching all of our goals

• How to get back into the zone of happiness even when life is challenging

• What it truly means to be productive, and why happiness is not just getting more things done

• How to check in with yourself and make tangible adjustments when you just feel “off”

 

Dr. Ellen also shares her own story of struggling with depression and realizing that she didn’t want to just be “okay”; she wanted to pursue happiness. Plus, she’s hosting a FREE Happiness Summit featuring experts in each pillar of happiness (including me!), and we’ll share all the details of how to join us. I hope this episode gives you practical action steps that will make space for more happiness in your everyday life.
