In 'Happy Mind, Happy Life', Dr. Rangan Chatterjee shares cutting-edge insights into the science of happiness and its impact on health. The book emphasizes that happiness is not a by-product of wealth or success but something to be cultivated independently. It includes real-life case studies and practical exercises to help readers feel calmer, more confident, and in control of their health. Chatterjee argues that small changes in lifestyle, such as better sleep, diet, and stress management, can significantly improve mental wellbeing and overall health.
This week, I decided to do something a little bit different - instead of me inviting a guest onto my podcast and speaking to them about their ideas and work, I'm releasing a conversation that I had back in February with the wonderful Elizabeth Day on her podcast, How To Fail. Her podcast is about celebrating the things that have not gone right in our life and is centred around the topic of failure and learning from our mistakes.
In this conversation, I share with Elizabeth what I consider to be my three biggest failures in life. We talk about happiness and Elizabeth asks me about my latest book, Happy Mind, Happy Life. We also chat about people-pleasing, authenticity, low self-worth and the harmful consequences of doing things solely for external validation. I also share how I met my wife and why these days, I feel happier and more content than ever before.
This really was a powerful, intimate and revealing conversation. I hope you enjoy listening.
