When it comes to parenting, a lot of it is simply learned on the fly, but there is a method that may help us better navigate the traps and pitfalls of raising our kids. Jessica Joelle Alexander is the author of ‘The Danish Way Every Day: A Practical, Age-By-Age Guide to Raising Confident, Capable Kids Like the Happiest People in the World' spoke to Anton

What if the secret to raising calm, confident, and connected kids has been quietly thriving in Denmark this whole time?? (It's been ranked in the top 5 happiest countries for over 40 years!)Not in a high-tech lab. Not in a parenting trend. But in a culture that consistently tops the charts as the happiest in the world.This week on the Emotionally Intelligent Parenting Podcast, we're diving into The Danish Way with bestselling author and cultural researcher Jessica Joelle Alexander.If you've ever wished parenting could feel more peaceful, less like a power struggle, and more like a partnership—this episode is your warm, welcoming invitation.And guess what? Her brand-new book The Danish Way Everyday is out THIS week! So if you're into calm, connected parenting (I know you are), go preorder your copy right after you finish this episode.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 8th of April, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Book of Isaiah 6:8: “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying:“Whom shall I send,And who will go for Us?”Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”Then we go straight to the Book of Zechariah 4:10: “For who has despised the day of small things?”Are you feeling this morning that you are not good enough, that you will never make it? Are you feeling that you are not equipped? Well, you are in good company! That's exactly how I feel so many times - never despise small beginnings. Remember, God chose King David, the smallest and youngest of all of Jesse's sons. There were eight of them all together, but God chose the youngest. It's never too late to put your hand up. Remember Gideon's army? He had 32,000 fighting men. The Lord said, “Send them all back”, and he ended up with 300 fighting men, and defeated the enemy. You will find that in Judges 7:7.We ask ourselves a question. Why? Why does God choose the youngest, the most ill-equipped, the most uneducated? Why? Because He will not share His glory with any man. You see, when God does a miracle through an ordinary person's life, God gets all the glory because people say there is no way that that man could have done that. God doesn't need our expertise, He doesn't need our intellect. He doesn't even need our effort. All He wants is one thing, He wants our obedience. Yes, He wants us to love and to dedicate ourselves to Him alone. Jesus told the fisherman right down at the Sea of Galilee, to leave their nets and follow after Him and He would make them fishers of men and look what happened with those twelve men. They changed the world. I want to tell you very quickly about a dairy farmer who lived in America. His name was Demos Shakarian. He came from an Armenian background. That man was saved, he thought he was going to be an evangelist. He bought a big tent and held a few meetings and he was fairly successful, but that wasn't what God wanted him to do. Then God showed him to start the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International. Do you know that that movement touched tens of thousands of key businessmen around the whole world? A book was written called, “The Happiest People on Earth.”I want to say to you today, put your hand up and say, “Lord, I don't have much but I am going to give You what I have got,” and you will be surprised how He will use you. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

Summer should be a time for slow, walks on the beach, s'mores around the campfire, midday naps, leisurely picnics, and long, lazy swims. Unfortunately, the hustle of summer often leaves us busier than ever! Travel, summer camps, extra socializing, and a general lack of routine can sometimes make us long for the quiet, solitude of winter. In the fullness of these sun-soaked days, we can easily fall off the old witchcraft wagon, forgetting our practice altogether. When this happens, we need to reconnect with why our practice is important. We must return to the rituals that help us stay grounded, connected, and full of magic. On this warm summer day, take time to slow down and remember the joy of your witchy practice.What am I reading?The Book of Thorns by Hester FoxThe Little Book Of Lykke: Secrets Of The World's Happiest People by Meik Wiking What am I listening to on repeat?Tide is High by Blondie What's for dinner? Brussels Sprout PizzaPizza doughBrussels sproutsOlive oilFig jamBalsamic glazeMozzarella cheeseParmesan cheeseHoneySalt & pepperInstructions: Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Ajahn Sudhiro offers reflections on the profound happiness of meditation and explains why meditators are known as the happiest people in the world. This Dhamma talk was offered on June 21, 2024 at Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery.

Join me, Malorie Nicole, as I delve into the power of gratitude in our everyday lives. Tune in as I share my thoughts on the incredible interconnectedness of our world, thanks to technology that bridges gaps and fuels growth in ways we might not even realize. This conversation serves as a gentle reminder of the abundance we have, simply by having access to the internet and devices that bring us together, including shows like this one. It's a chance to pause and recognize the blessings and opportunities that come our way, prompting us to ponder why we're so fortunate to have these resources. I'll also touch on how we tend to lose perspective when faced with setbacks and challenges, particularly addressing busy entrepreneurs and individuals caught up in the hustle. Gratitude, I believe, goes beyond just a feeling; it's a shift in mindset that can truly transform how we navigate obstacles and view our circumstances. So, join me as we confront the uncomfortable truths of our experiences, acknowledge the ebb and flow of life's highs and lows, and discover how embracing gratitude can enrich our personal and professional journeys. The Abundance Decision - written by Malorie Nicole

In this episode, we're embarking on a journey towards abundance. There are two ways to perceive life: through abundance or through lack. You may wonder why anyone would choose lack, and yet, in various situations, we move towards it. What if you decided to take control of your thoughts? To commit to thinking in alignment with your chosen word, regardless of circumstances? Imagine the world as a canvas and your chosen word as the lens through which you perceive and receive it. It's essential to understand that this isn't about seeking external results. You're not thinking in abundance to obtain material possessions. Instead, it's a profound shift in your state of being. You become the solution, not the seeker of solutions. In this world, you experience everything through your chosen word, and it shapes your reality. It's about embodying the essence of that word, not chasing outcomes. When you become love, joy, or abundance, you naturally attract and manifest these qualities in your life. Here's a challenge for you: for one week, immerse yourself in your chosen word in every aspect of your life. Picture yourself as a soul being, surrounded by others in a line. You have a choice—enter a world where every being thinks in abundance, or one where lack prevails. The desire for an abundance-filled world is undeniable. Imagine a society where everyone seeks opportunities for healing, growth, love, and expansion. This vision of utopia is achievable when we become the change we wish to see. Remember, the world can't change itself; you must change to transform your reality. By choosing to see opportunities, no matter the challenges, you become a beacon of love and power. Embrace this choice; don't compare your journey to others. As you infuse love, joy, and abundance into your life, you'll radiate these qualities, becoming a source of positivity for others. This isn't about accumulating material possessions but embodying the essence of your chosen word. - Henry -------------------------------- Social Media ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Say hi on TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Say Hi on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -------------------------------- Email Me ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠henry@vibeabundant.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -------------------------------- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email List⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/positive-mindset-podcast/support

What are “Blue Zones”? Where in the world do people live better and healthier lives? What makes them live longer and healthier? To answer these questions, Pedro Pinto interviews Dan Buettner in this episode of “It's Not That Simple”, a podcast by the Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation. The author of five books on longevity and happiness, Buettner discovered the five places in the world—dubbed Blue Zones—where people lived the longest, healthiest lives and shared this information with the world. His books were all national bestsellers. Together with his writing, Buettner works in partnership with municipal governments, large employers, and health insurance companies to implement Blue Zones Projects in communities, workplaces, and universities. He is also a three-time Guinness World Record distance cycling holder. In this episode, Buettner explains what he means by “Blue Zones”: the five areas of the world where people live the longest, healthiest lives. He considers how our environment (the food we eat, our social habits, our incentives) affects our quality of life. Buettner then explores how factors like family or a sense of purpose can contribute to a longer life expectancy, and highlights how a “peasant diet” is an essential element of the “Blue Zone” life. Buettner also discusses what people in countries like the United States are doing wrong that makes them live shorter and less healthy lives than people in the “Blue Zones”. He also talks about his work with city governments in the United States to develop and implement policies to nudge people to adopt better habits and improve their well-being. Finally, he addresses the potential negative consequences of a longer life, in a conversation well worth listening to.More on this topic The Blue Zone: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest, Dan Buettner, 2008 Thrive.

If we think about the kind of friend, spouse, care provider, boss or public leader we want, we probably would name empathy as an essential quality. Empathy encompasses seeing through another's eyes (cognitive empathy), feeling what that person feels (emotional empathy) and taking action that is attuned to that person's feelings (compassionate empathy). But how does someone become empathic? At what age are children first capable of empathy? And what is the role of parents and other adults in nurturing empathy as children develop?     In this episode of Mom Enough, Dr. Megan Gunnar, professor in the University of Minnesota's Institute of Child Development, joins Marti & Erin to discuss early signs of empathy in infancy, the growing capacity for compassionate empathy in the toddler period, and simple, practical ways parents can encourage and expand children's empathy in everyday interactions at every stage. Nurturing empathy is one of the most important things we can do to help our children grow up to be the kind of people we hope they will be. And it is one powerful way we can be leaders in making the world a better place for all! Thank you to Mom Enough's longtime supporting partner Help Me Grow for bringing this episode to you.   IN WHAT WAYS ARE YOU NURTURING EMPATHY IN YOUR CHILDREN? Thinking of children in your family, when did you first notice signs of empathy in them? What have you done (or could you do) to help them develop and use what Dr. Gunnar calls “compassionate empathy”? And what steps can your whole family take to deepen your empathy toward all, even people who seem different from you in background, experience or beliefs?   WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT EMPATHY? ❉ THE DANISH WAY OF PARENTING: AN INTERVIEW WITH JESSICA JOELLE ALEXANDER. Denmark has frequently been ranked as one of the happiest countries in the world. It is a culture that celebrates togetherness and hygge (cozy conviviality), teaches empathy, and believes children should have a voice and be respected. All of these factors play a part in how Danes parent. Tune into this Mom Enough episode with Jessica Joelle Alexander, best-selling author of The Danish Way of Parenting: What the Happiest People in the World Know About Raising Confident, Capable Kids.   ❉ HELPING CHILDREN BUILD EMPATHY: A DISCUSSION WITH UNSELFIE AUTHOR, MICHELE BORBA. When people ask author and educational psychologist Michele Borba what kids need to be successful and happy, she confidently proclaims, “Empathy!” And yet, our popular culture, with its emphasis on “I” and “me” seems to fly in the face of empathy as a core value. We've all seen kids and adults alike constantly snapping “selfies” to document their every move. What other factors have contributed to these changes? And, most importantly, what can we do now as parents, teachers and other caring adults to make sure children build this important quality of empathy from the earliest years? Dr. Borba joins Marti & Erin for a rich discussion in this Mom Enough episode. Tune in to hear her practical strategies for putting empathy front and center in your child's life and in the life of your whole family.   ❉ RAISING FEMINIST BOYS: DR. BOBBI WEGNER DISCUSSES GENDER, SEX & EMPATHY. Psychologist and author, Dr. Bobbi Wegner joins Marti & Erin for a compelling conversation on the importance of teaching our children — and especially our sons — about sex, consent, identity, gender, and empathy.

Cracks are forming in a prestigious Wall Street institution: Goldman Sachs. Most bank CEOs make big decisions with a cadre of executives. But Goldman maintains a partnership with about 420 members, many of whom like to have a say in how the firm is run. WSJ's AnnaMaria Andriotis explains why CEO David Solomon has come under fire from partners who complain about bonuses, strategy and that DJ side gig.

Do you ever notice that some people move through life with ease, tolerance, balance, and resilience?

What does genuine happiness look like or feel like? Is it the representation of wealth and materialism, or is it about genuine relationships, and open conversations that build community and each other. Well, the world seems to be migrating away from the latter. But, there is hope!

[00:30] Antiochus on the March (32 minutes) Susan Rice stepped down from the Biden administration the day before Joe Biden announced his reelection bid. Conservative Treehouse investigative journalist Mark Bradman, known as Sundance, noted that Rice has been running the Biden administration at Barack Obama's direction. Bradman also identified Obama as the “lightbringer.” Rice's departure indicates that Antiochus is removing his backing from the failing Biden administration. Meanwhile, the U.S. has pulled out of Sudan—another failure of America's efforts to promote democracy in the Middle East and Africa. [32:30] Will Fox News Try to Silence Tucker? (14 minutes) Several journalists have noted that Fox may try to silence Tucker Carlson in addition to firing him. Rolling Stone reported that Fox News keeps a gossip dossier on all of its hosts in case it needs to blackmail them into silence. Meanwhile, Vanity Fair questioned whether Carlson was fired because of his comments on Friday encouraging people to pray 10 minutes daily for America's future. Politico reported that Pentagon officials are thrilled Carlson is gone because he is openly critical of the woke U.S. military. [46:15] The Happiest People in America (9 minutes) The Wall Street Journal reported that, unsurprisingly, the happiest people in America value strong marriage and family relationships, believe in God, and are not obsessed with material gain.

For the better part of a century, the Governing Body have claimed that Jehovah's Witnesses are the 'happiest people on earth.' But a quick look at the people inside a Kingdom Hall raise a lot of questions. Not only do they look unhappy, but they're regularly reminded that any happiness they DO experience isn't deserved anyway. And if you don't like that message... there is a fireball waiting for you at Armageddon. Let's take a look at their 'happiness' and how this can go from comedy to tragedy. TWITTER: @exjwpodcastINSTAGRAM: survivingparadisepodcast

People who live in some places are happier than others. But if you move to a happy country, happy city or happy district, will it make you feel better?
