Episode notes

Every person possesses three different types of gifts: humanity, wisdom, and talent. Humanity is reflected in moments of compassion and connection, while wisdom stems from unique life experiences. Talent comprises the skills and passions individuals possess. Among these gifts, humanity stands out as the most fulfilling, fostering happiness through human connection and the expression of inner goodness.

What if everything society told you about how to find happiness was misleading? My guest Stephanie Harrison, author of New Happy: Getting Happiness Right in a World That's Got It Wrong, challenges the cultural conditioning around chasing achievements, wealth, and status as the path to joy.

She provides insights from positive psychology research and her own experience with depression to unravel the myths behind our collective pursuit of happiness. Stephanie offers a practical philosophy centered on sharing our gifts of humanity, wisdom, and talent to create ripples of lasting well-being for ourselves and others. Tune in to rethink what true happiness means and how you can live it.
