How to be happy in the modern world. A Happy Hour Conversation with Jamie Smart

This week's show is with Jamie Smart an internationally renowned writer, speaker, coach and consultant. He shows individuals and organizations the unexpected keys to clarity; the ultimate leverage point for creating more time, better decisions and meaningful results.

Jamie is a gifted speaker, equally engaging in front of large audiences and more intimate groups. He’s passionate about helping individuals and businesses to deepen their understanding of CLARITY® and to create the results that matter to them. In addition to working with a handful of coaching clients and leading selected corporate programmes, Jamie runs professional development workshops for business leaders, trainers, coaches and consultants. He has appeared on Sky TV and on the BBC, as well as in numerous publications including The Daily Telegraph.

In 2003, Jamie started the company Salad, quickly growing a tribe of over 80,000 people who devoured his articles and personal development products. Salad soon became the world’s leading NLP product business, and he was acknowledged by his peers as one of the world’s finest trainers. Then, in 2008, Jamie shifted his focus to a new paradigm, the principles of CLARITY®. He stopped teaching NLP and in 2012, sold Salad. Prior to starting his own business, Jamie led multi-million pound organizational change programmes and was also brought in as a troubleshooter to rescue struggling projects. His client list includes the Guardian newspaper, Sweet & Maxwell, Payzone and Dun & Bradstreet.

In today’s show we spoke about How to be happy in these modern times of complexity and uncertainty! Which of course is a topic very close to our hearts on this show.

What you'll learn from this episode:

• Knowing that at the core of your being you'll be OK, no matter what happens you can't be harmed psychologically, allows you to move with changes, complexity and uncertainty.

• Your true 'essence' isn't your body, it isn't your cells, it isn't your name, it isn't your thoughts - it's the one who experiences the body, cells, name and thoughts.

• We innocently believe that our feelings are letting us know about the outside world, our friends, our family, the future... when our experience of the world is actually thought-generated.
