In this inspiring and practical episode, hosts Mike and Mark explore The Happiness Equation by Neil Pasricha—a powerful guidebook for living a life full of joy, meaning, and intention.

Neil starts with profoundly reflecting on the moment that inspired him to write the book, as shared on BT Network. From there, we unpack the book's central ideas through three transformative sections: Want Nothing, Do Anything, Have Everything.

In the first act—Want Nothing—

Neil reveals his top three tips for instantly shifting into a happier mindset. He breaks down the small, simple things that have the biggest emotional impact. Learn how gratitude and perspective can immediately shift your internal world.

Next—Do Anything—

We dive into the concept of time and freedom. With Brian Johnson's (Optimize) help, we explore how protecting your time is one of the most excellent tools for happiness. Learn how to time-block effectively and preserve your energy for the most important things.

Finally—Have Everything—

This section flips conventional wisdom on its head. Instead of waiting for success to be happy, Neil and Brian explain how doing is the key. Through the “Do Circle,” we see how taking action—no matter how small—leads to momentum, growth, and true satisfaction.

The episode wraps with a hard-hitting dose of truth from Neil on CityTV, including the powerful and counterintuitive idea that we must overvalue ourselves to realize our full potential.

Whether you’re chasing goals or just trying to feel more present and content day to day, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you redesign your equation for happiness.
