What's Next! with Tiffani Bova Redefining Happiness with Stephanie Harrison
Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.
I have the pleasure of welcoming Stephanie Harrison to the show today. She is the creator of the New Happy Philosophy. She's the founder of New Happy, a company helping individuals, companies, and communities apply this philosophy in their lives.
The New Happy’s art, newsletter, podcast, and programs reach millions of people around the world every month. Previously, Stephanie was the Director of Learning at Thrive Global, one of my favorite companies.
THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… anyone looking to redefine their understanding of happiness and improve their well-being, especially in the workplace.
TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… traditionally, happiness is tied to achievements - closing a big deal, getting a promotion, moving to the corner office. We’re told to aim for perfection and achieve more and more to find happiness, yet somehow, we’re still unfulfilled.
Stephanie Harrison introduces a new concept of happiness, “New Happy” which challenges traditional notions of happiness. Instead of pursuing individual happiness through external achievements, New Happy focuses on authenticity and contributing to others' well-being. By understanding and applying these principles, individuals and organizations can foster environments that promote genuine happiness and purpose.
Key takeaways:
-
Using acts of kindness as a shortcut to happiness
-
Rewiring yourself to move away from Old Happy to New Happy
-
Understanding the root of most people’s unhappiness
-
How parents can teach children the New Happy way
-
Practical steps for leaders to promote happiness among their teams
WHAT I LOVE MOST… Stephanie's insight that happiness doesn't have to be a choice between self and others. You don't have to put your happiness before somebody else's or vice versa. You can do both at the same time.
