Originally Published March 28, 2022. Let's take a deep dive into the power of intentional happiness with an expert on the subject—Eric Karpinski. Today we are going to explore practical habits like gratitude journaling and conscious acts of kindness that not only enhance your well-being but can also transform workplace cultures. Tune in to learn how science-backed strategies can lead to greater engagement, productivity, and most importantly, happiness, both in life and at work.   Eric once followed the societal formula for happiness—work hard, succeed, and then find fulfillment but realized that this relentless pursuit left him anxious and depressed. After turning to positive psychology he found that happiness doesn't stem from achievements alone, but from building meaningful habits, fostering connections, and balancing life with gratitude and kindness. His discoveries also led him to write The Seven Principles of Happiness, where he advocates for an “action buffet” approach—sampling different habits to find what works best for individuals and teams.   Eric Karpinski has been on the cutting edge of bringing positive psychology tools to workplaces for over 10 years, with clients that include Intel, Facebook, NASA, IBM, T-Mobile, Genentech, Eli Lilly and many others. Eric is a key member of Shawn Achor's GoodThink team, trained as a scientist at Brown University and has an MBA from the Wharton School. In March 2021, McGraw Hill published his book, Put Happiness to Work: 7 Strategies to Elevate Engagement for Optimal Performance, which has been endorsed by Adam Grant, Shawn Achor and Daniel Pink. He and his wife are also work-advice columnists on Psychology Today.   Social Media: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erickarpinski/   Website: https://www.erickarpinski.com/  Book Website: https://puthappinesstowork.com/    Thanks for listening to the show!

When our minds are hurried, cluttered, or distracted, it is difficult to hear God and know the truth. Silence allows the clutter of our hearts and minds to settle so that we can hear that still, small voice and "think about these things." Proverbs 9:1-10 Philippians 4:4-9 John 6:51-69  

The Alliance Defending Freedom is looking into how religious and political organizations have been lumped in with terrorist organizations and have been banned from banking services. Zach Abraham and I discuss if this is something the government intends to do on a large scale. We also talk about the possibility of a parallel banking economy and if the de-banking trend is a move towards the mark of the beast. What does God's Word say? Revelation 13:11-17 The Beast out of the Earth 11 Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13 And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. 14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.Episode 1,728 Links:The Left's Latest Power Grab — ‘De-Banking' Christians — Is Literally ApocalypticJUST IN - U.S. inflation rises to 3.5%, hotter than expected.Alan's Soapshttps://alanssoaps.com/TODDUse coupon code ‘TODD' to save an additional 10% off the bundle price.Bioptimizershttps://magbreakthrough.com/toddfreeVisit this website to get your 30-capsule bottle of Magnesium Breakthrough for FREE today!  No promo code needed.Bonefroghttps://bonefrogcoffee.com/toddMake Bonefrog Cold Brew at home!  Use code TODD at checkout to receive 10% off your first purchase and 15% on subscriptions.Bulwark Capital Bulwark Capital Management (bulwarkcapitalmgmt.com)Sign up today for Zach's free webinar Thursday July 25th at 3:30pm PDT at KnowYourRiskRadio.com.EdenPUREhttps://edenpuredeals.comUse code TODD3 to save $200 on the Thunderstorm Air Purifier 3-pack.GreenHaven Interactivehttps://greenhaveninteractive.comNeed more customers?

Some questions about what exactly Philippians 4:8 means, and how the crucifixion fits in.

Employee engagement is something companies have focused on for years, but when you look at the Gallup polls and the research we've barely moved the needle? Why is that? One big reason is that a lot of it focuses on the company instead of the person. Employee engagement is always tied to productivity, profitability, and what leaders want to see from their engaged employees. It's a selfish view and we are likely better off focusing on how to increase the happiness of our employees in the workplace. On this episode I spoke with Eric Karpinski who is the author of Put Happiness to Work. He spoke about how to develop habits to improve social connection and deal with negative emotions. Here are just a few of the tips he shared on how to improve social connection: Gratitude practice; takes 3 minutes at the start of the day to write down three people that you appreciate and what you appreciate them for. Conscious act of kindness: as soon as you get to your phone each day commit to writing a one or two line email or text to someone telling them something you love about them, encouraging them, or just sharing some good news with them. Connection meditation: bring someone to mind that is really close to you and just send them good wishes in your mind Pecha Kucha connection presentation: Each week ask someone on your team to pull together 10 photos of their life outside of work that they're comfortable sharing with the team and then present them. This gives everyone an understanding of each other and plants potential seeds of conversation There's so much more to this episode and some great tips for dealing with negative emotions. I guarantee you'll get something valuable out of this episode so give it a listen.

It’s just that the medium has changed for us and we have to reapply what we already know to be our best selves and reach our potential.” - Amy Blankson We hear every day about how the technology available to us today erodes our happiness and stresses us out, but is it possible that we can use it to actually do the opposite? Today’s guest on Finding Brave has made it her life’s work to study this issue, and the insights she shares on this episode will encourage you to view technology in a whole new light. The only person to receive a Point of Light from two US Presidents, my guest Amy Blankson graduated from Harvard College and Yale School of Management, and co-founded GoodThink to bring the science of happiness to life for others.

Amy Blankson is Marc’s guest in this episode. Amy has become one of the world’s leading experts on the connection between positive psychology and technology. She is the only person to be named a point of light by two presidents, President George Bush, Sr., and President Bill Clinton, for creating a movement to activate positive cultural change. A sought-after speaker and consultant, Amy has now worked with organizations like Google, NASA, The U.S. Army, and the XPRIZE Foundation, to help foster a sense of well-being in the digital era. Amy received her BA from Harvard, and MBA from Yale School of Management. Most recently she was a featured professor at Oprah’s Happiness course. Amy is the co-author, with Shawn Achor, of award-winning children’s book, Ripple’s Effect, and the mother of three girls who remind her on a daily basis why it’s so important to create a happier future for all. Marc and Amy discuss Amy’s family background in psychology, positive psychology, and happiness, and focus on her new book, The Future of Happiness, 5 Modern Strategies for Balancing Productivity and Well-Being in the Digital Era. They cover several questions about the effects of technology today, near future, and the three personas related to technology. Listen in for tips on making technology a positive tool for good in your life.   Key Takeaways: [3:09] Amy recalls a childhood scuffle, in which her brother, Shawn Achor, to forestall her imminent outraged outburst, convinced her she was a unicorn. By diverting her attention from his injustice, he turned her anger into awe. Amy was raised in a family of psychologists, and is anxious to share what she has learned about happiness. [4:43] Amy starts her book with three questions: Where are we heading? Would we be better off without tech? What will happiness look like? Amy explains why she chose those questions. Her book came out of her experiences with her company, Goodthink, a positive psychology consulting firm. [6:43] When Pandora’s box was opened, evil and pestilence were released, and the one thing left in the bottom of the box was hope. We have some really powerful tools that have been unleashed. Things can be used for bad or for good. As a society, we need to think about how can we use technology to its best and highest purposes. [7:55] Technology helps us live longer; it can supply 3D printed organs to replace failing ones. Children born without a hand can have a 3D printed one within a week for under $30.00. Technology helps us manage our finances, and frees us up for more quality family time. [8:19] We also have technology that is so distracting that the human attention span has dropped below that of a goldfish, to under 8 seconds. What do we do about that now, to change the trajectory for the future, so our technology is not distracting but propels us forward? [10:02] Research shows that happiness and technology can be balanced. Technology is only a means to the end. We have to train the operators to use things better. Amy refers to the when, where, why, and how of using technology. It depends on intentionality. [11:05] Are you using technology to connect, or to journal, or are you using it to check out, so you don’t have to talk to your spouse? Start your day by writing down your tech intention. You are 42% more likely to achieve your written goals. Be accountable to your intentions. The technology will not do that for you. [13:04] What about solitaire on your iPad! Check your time. Don’t fall off the “happiness cliff.” Games can turn from a diversion into a fixation. Some games and puzzles, like Sudoku, can help prevent dementia. [15:49] Who are the embracers, the accepters, and the resisters? Amy says that people define themselves by their attitude toward technology. When you embrace your persona, you can set your course how you will make technology work for you. You may like some technology, such as medical equipment, but not smart phones. [18:34] Amy is doing some original research around the connection between your tech persona, and some of the stressors that you feel. What does she find about resisters and stress? To reduce stress, try to see technology more as a challenge than a threat. [19:47] Tunnel vision and confirmation bias can lead you astray, when you are first introduced to a new technology. Amy says a positive and engaged brain activates dopamine in your system, and activates the learning centers in your brain, which enables you to see new possibilities. Keep an open mind, and it will be easier to use. [21:30] Tech is not a toxin, it is a tool we need to learn to wield effectively. Research shows that a tech detox does not bring happiness. If you keep setting happiness at the end of an event, you eventually push it over the cognitive horizon. Approach technology with happiness and a growth mindset, and that will mold how you use the technology. [24:11] Amy discusses the positive use of Fitbit and other wellness tools, and relates them to her father’s medical concerns. Technology can be used as tools for happiness for years to come. They will become more user-friendly in years to come.   Mentioned in This Episode: Careerpivot.com Contact Marc, and ask questions at: Careerpivot.com/contact-me Twitter: @AmyBlankson GoodthinkInc.com FutureofHappiness.com FutureofHappiness.com/story The Future of Happiness: 5 Modern Strategies for Balancing Productivity and Well-Being in the Digital Era, by Amy Blankson Repurpose Your Career: A Practical Guide for the Second Half of Life, by Marc Miller and Susan Lahey (April 17, 2017)   Please take a moment — go to iTunes, Stitcher, or Google Play.

The question is not whether technology is good or bad for us. I think that might have been the question a few years ago. But now technology is part of our lives, so I think the better question is what do we do with it? As William Shakespeare once said, “there's nothing good or bad, but thinking it makes it so.” I think positive psychology has some really important lessons for us and what that means in terms of how we use technology, specifically what I call the how, what, where, and why of using technology in our lives. – Amy Blankson Amy Blankson is the only person to be named a Point of Light by two Presidents (President Bush and President Clinton).
