The Science of Happiness: How Hope, Hunger, and a Simple Formula Can Redefine Your Financial Life with Dr. Alphonsus Obayuwana
What if happiness isn’t just a feeling — but a formula?
In this mind-expanding episode, I sit down with Dr. Alphonsus Obayuwana — physician, scientist, happiness coach, and founder of the Triple-H Project — to break down his 30+ years of research into human hope, emotional well-being, and what really drives lasting happiness. We are discussing his new book: The Happiness Formula.
He introduces the groundbreaking Triple-H Equation: Hope over Hunger = Happiness — and explains how it can reshape your relationship with money, your goals, and your emotional peace.
You'll walk away learning:
- How happiness and hope are scientifically connected — and why one can't exist without the other
- What the five “human hungers” are and how they silently shape your financial stress
- How to calculate your Personal Happiness Index — and what your score says about your well-being
- Why people with financial success still feel unfulfilled — and how to change that
- Practical ways to increase your hope and reduce your emotional “hunger” starting today
- Why measuring your happiness is the key to improving it
This is one of the most profound conversations I’ve had — and one that could completely reframe how you think about wealth, success, and peace of mind.
