Podcasts about Happiness

In this episode, we discuss why your stress and unhappiness may be coming from a disorganized mind, and also why chasing states of focus and flow can also be destructive.

This week, we explore the life of an influential and yet, often overlooked founder, James Wilson. Whose ideas and influence continue to shape current debates about popular sovereignty, constitutional structure, and democratic self-government.   Legal scholar William Ewald of the University of Pennsylvania and Jesse Wegman of the Brennan Center for Justice join to discuss Wegman's new book, The Lost Founder: James Wilson and the Forgotten Fight for a People's Constitution, which explores the life and legacy of this founder and Supreme Court justice. Julie Silverbrook, vice president of civic education of the National Constitution Center, moderates.

Many people aren't burning out from doing too much, but from spending their days disconnected from the things that actually matter. The result is a numbing, restless state Brad Stulberg calls zombie burnout.In this episode of The Ready State Podcast, Juliet and Kelly Starrett sit down with author and coach Brad Stulberg to unpack what excellence really means in a chaotic, distraction-heavy world. Drawing from his latest book, The Way of Excellence, Stulberg challenges the myths of hustle culture and self-optimization, offering a grounded path toward ambition that's aligned with values, sustained by rest, and rooted in deep, meaningful engagement.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy excellence has nothing to do with rigid routines or influencer “optimization”The difference between happiness, satisfaction, and lasting fulfillmentHow “zombie burnout” happens — even when you're not technically overworkedWhat truly excellent environments have in commonWhy process matters more than outcomes (without pretending outcomes don't matter)How rest and renewal are essential — not optional — for long-term excellenceKey Highlights: (00:00) - Introduction(01:17) - What is Excellence(08:37) - What Excellence is Not(09:48) - Importance of Excellence(13:08) - Excellence vs. Happiness(17:54) - Aggregation of Marginal Gains(19:59) - Sponsor: Vitality(23:10) - Brad's Take on Heisman Winner(25:15) - Creating an Excellent Environment(33:18) - Zombie Burnout and Adult Pacifiers(35:50) - Combating Zombie Burnout(37:39) - Sponsor: LMNT(40:20) - Managing Distractions(43:22) - Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance(46:41) - Decline of Excellence(52:30) - Goal Setting Strategies(58:13) - Stress, Rest, and Growth(01:02:40) - Sponsor: Momentous(01:05:25) - Recovery Techniques(01:06:40) - Surprises After Writing the Book(01:08:34) - Meaningful Milestone for 2026(01:10:38) - Brad's Addition to the Infinite Shelf(01:12:18) - Starrett SystemHuge thanks to our sponsors, Vitality, Momentous, and LMNT.Connect with BradWebsite | Podcast | Instagram | YouTubePre-Order The Way of Excellence

Well... This series wasn't planned. It started with us unpacking three phrases that have hit our marriage the hardest: “It's not my job to make you happy.” “We don't need each other.” “I'm going to let you down.” Each episode breaks down one of these conversation starters—and what followed was not easy. There are tears. There are real-time arguments. And there are very honest conversations we almost kept private. This is Part 1 of a three-part series. Parts 2 and 3 are coming over the next two weeks—stay tuned. We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. Do you agree? Have you had these conversations in your own relationship?

Today's conversation is a homecoming—back to the body, back to character, and back to what it means to be a man. My guest, Mark Walsh, challenges the modern habit of living entirely in our heads—cut off from sensation, boundaries, and responsibility. We talk embodiment not as fitness or aesthetics, but using physical training to develop character, emotional regulation, and presence. From Stoicism and shadow work to doing hard things on purpose, this episode is about reclaiming awareness, expanding range, and building the discipline required to choose better behavior. We also confront the cult of modernity: hyper-individualism, happiness culture, pleasure-seeking that produces pain, and the loss of religion, community, and moral formation. Mark makes the case that happiness is secondary to meaning and commitment and that true freedom is forged through discipline, not the absence of limits.

Episode SummaryIn this episode, Chris Schembra sits down with Jessica Weiss to unpack a radical but practical idea: happiness at work isn't something you wait for in a distant future, it's something you actively create, even in imperfect conditions. Drawing from Jessica's book Happiness Works, the conversation reframes happiness not as a fleeting mood or a vague “choice,” but as a set of tangible, science-backed tools anyone can use right now. They explore why the single most powerful first step toward happiness is simply finding a friend at work, how resilience is a muscle built through small, confidence-building decisions, and why “good enough” choices often lead to more satisfaction than endless optimization. Together, they dismantle common myths about happiness, connect gratitude and joy to long-term resilience, and show how depersonalizing failure and using feedback as data can transform setbacks into progress. The episode culminates in Jessica's five-part framework—connection, resilience, optimism, trust, and progress—offered not as a rigid sequence, but as a buffet of tools listeners can draw from as needed. At a moment defined by burnout, uncertainty, and rapid change, this conversation makes a compelling case that happiness isn't fluffy or naïve; it's a strategic advantage for individuals, teams, and organizations alike.10 Quotes“Happiness isn't something you wait for in the future; it's something you build, even in imperfect conditions.” “The fastest way to improve your happiness at work is shockingly simple: find a friend.” “Happiness is not the absence of unhappiness; it's having tools you can rely on when things get hard.” “Resilience isn't a personality trait. It's a muscle, and you build it through small decisions.” “Good enough decisions often create more happiness than perfect ones that take forever.” “Happiness isn't a choice. It's strategies, tactics, and habits you practice every day.” “Failure is inevitable. The real skill is learning how to depersonalize it and extract the lesson.” “Trust is the foundation of feedback—if you don't trust the source, the message won't land.” “Gratitude and joy aren't just reflections; they're mindset-shifting tools that build resilience.” “You don't need to change your entire life to be happier—small, consistent actions change the trajectory.” 10 TakewaysHappiness is actionable.It's not a vague feeling or personality trait—it's built through repeatable tools and behaviors. Connection comes first.Having even one genuine friend at work dramatically improves engagement, wellbeing, and performance. Resilience is built in micro-moments.Small, quick decisions create confidence and momentum over time. Perfection kills happiness.“Maximizers” suffer more than “satisficers.” Aim for progress, not perfection. Tools beat willpower.Relying on “choosing happiness” isn't sustainable. Systems and habits are. Gratitude trains the brain.Practices like joy journaling rewire attention toward presence, meaning, and resilience. Depersonalizing failure is a superpower.Treat setbacks as data, not identity, to grow faster and suffer less. Trust enables honest feedback.Without psychological safety and trust, feedback becomes noise or threat. Progress fuels motivation.Ending the day knowing you moved something forward is essential to long-term happiness. Happiness scales across life stages.From basic security to meaning and purpose, happiness tools apply at every level of Maslow's hierarchy.

Sarah has a new guilty pleasure called Members Only, but she says it's more like Real Housewives of Mar-a-Lago. We hear why she is fascinated by these ladies (and their clothing). We debate the virtues of changing your last name when you get married, and how certificates and diplomas should be amendable if you change your name. We learn the benefits of pet ownership according to science, and whether it is better or worse for your happiness than having children. Susie wants you all to know it is certainly better than having a teenager. Sarah explains, at long last, what the appendix even does and why it's more important than most people realize. And Susie tells the story of her friend who had to have her appendix removed because she tried to beat Cher in a feat of strength. This is a true and hilarious story. And we find out about a device that measures your child's vitals, and can alert parents of an impending temper tantrum, and we hear whether it's effective in preventing or reducing their severity.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:For 50% off your order, head to https://www.dailylook.com and use code BRAINCANDYGet 60% off your first order, plus free shipping, when you head to https://www.smalls.com/braincandyThis episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Imagine realizing the person you trusted was intentionally deceiving you the entire time. This episode pulls back the curtain on how con artists operate and the psychological devastation left in their wake. You'll learn how deception works, why even smart, capable people fall victim, and the lasting emotions from stress and anger to deep regret. Most importantly, you'll learn how to increase your awareness, find the right professional support, and begin to move on safely. It's a heavy but important conversation that may help you recognize danger before it's too late. In this episode of Love, Happiness and Success, I'm joined by Johnathan Walton, an Emmy-winning former TV reporter and current reality TV producer, who became a leading voice on the psychology of the con artist after surviving a deeply destabilizing betrayal himself. He's also the host, writer, and executive producer of the hit podcast Queen of the Con, and the author of Anatomy of a Con Artist. Together, we talk about how con artists manipulate emotions (not intelligence), why “I'm just trying to help” can be an early warning sign, and what happens to your brain and body when the relationship you thought was real turns out to be built on lies. We also get practical: the red flags that show up across scams, romance cons, and long-game manipulation, plus steps you can take to protect yourself—and what to do if you realize you've already been pulled in. A gentle note: This conversation includes explicit language and frank discussion of trauma responses, including intrusive revenge fantasies. Please take care of yourself while listening, and skip this one if you're not in the right headspace today.

As a gift, I'd like to invite you to schedule a free consultation with my team at Growing Self. You'll answer three quick questions, and we'll help you book a private, secure consultation with the right counselor or coach for what you're navigating right now.

His classes on Positive Psychology and Leadership were among the largest courses in Harvard's history, and he teaches, speaks, and consults around the world, to the general public, governments, Fortune 500 companies, and educational institutions. Tal's personal mission statement is “to make the world a better place through wholebeing education” and his internationally best-selling books have been translated into more than 25 languages. Tal has been featured on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, NBC, FOX, CNN, and 60 Minutes among others. Tal earned both his BA and PHD from Harvard. In this episode we discuss the following: Tal flips a common assumption on it's head: happiness doesn't start with feeling good; it starts with giving ourselves permission to feel bad. Painful emotions aren't a bug in the system. They're proof that we're alive. The mistake we make is treating emotions as moral verdicts rather than facts of nature, and then trying to suppress what we feel. The key is to accept what we're feeling and then chose to act in line with our values. The real work isn't learning these ideas. It's applying them, and for that reason Tal wears a bracelet to help him bridge the knowing / doing gap. In summary, to be happy, remember to let yourself feel bad. And then ACT.

What if the reason you feel unfulfilled isn't your job, your relationship, or your circumstances?In this powerful re-released episode of the Second Act Success Podcast, Shannon Russell sits down with happiness mentor Karyn Seitz, founder of the Happy Wife School, for a deep conversation about why so many women feel empty and dissatisfied even after “doing everything right.”Karyn works with women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who have successful lives on paper but still feel like something is missing. In this episode, she breaks down the truth about the pursuit of happiness, why external success never lasts, and how true fulfillment comes from within.If you're considering a second act, a career change, or questioning what's next in midlife, this episode will help you slow down, look inward, and make decisions from clarity rather than desperation.This is a must-listen conversation about self-worth, happiness, identity, and creating a life that actually feels good to live.Key Takeaways:Why checking all the boxes still leaves so many women feeling unfulfilledThe difference between pursuing happiness and actually being happyWhy careers, relationships, money, and achievements can't create lasting fulfillmentHow happiness comes from who you are, not what you do or haveWhy slowing down before a career or life change leads to better decisionsHow to navigate toxic work environments without giving your power awayA new way to define work as a place for growth and self-actualization*Get the full show notes here!Leave a review for the Second Act Success Podcast here. ******** Book a free Strategy Call with Shannon Watch the free How To Start a Business Training Download the free Career to Business Roadmap Join the Second Act Accelerator Read Shannon's Book - Start Your Second Act: How to Change Careers, Launch a Business, and Create Your Best Life ➡️ Let's Connect: Instagram | LinkedIn | TikTok Home Chef Meal Delivery - (free shipping & $4.99 per serving) Flodesk Email Marketing - (25% off your first year) Stitch Fix Personal Stylist - ($25 off your first order) Buzzsprout Podcast Hosting - ($20 off) Podmatch Guesting (*Some affiliate links in...

Here's Where To Begin:

Today's Promise: John 15:11 The Christian life was never meant to be dull, heavy, or joyless. It is a joy-filled life because it is rooted in Jesus Christ. Jesus was the most joyful person to ever walk on the earth, and He invites His followers to share in that same deep, abiding joy. But biblical joy is not the same as happiness. Happiness rises and falls with circumstances.   When life is going your way, you feel happy; when it isn't, happiness disappears. Joy, however, is heart-based. It runs deeper than emotions and stronger than circumstances.   In this episode, we explore where true joy begins and how it can remain steady even in difficult seasons.   The starting point of lasting joy is understanding and living in the complete, unchanging love of God. When you rest in His love, joy becomes more than a feeling. It becomes a way of life. Discover how to experience the joy God intends for you, no matter what you're facing.

Happiness and freedom are what we ultimately want, but what path should we follow to get there? Should we pursue meaningful relationships, lasting intimacy, financial security, purpose and meaning, health, family, fame or religion? Or is it something else entirely?   Well, in this series of podcasts, Roy describes the BEST path to happiness and freedom. It is spiritual in nature, and it's about shifting from attachment to trust.   In this episode, you will learn: ·      About the "sticky finger" problem; ·      How recognizing impermanence leads to happiness; ·      The true meaning of "this too shall pass"; ·      How to enjoy without attachment; ·      And much, much more!   There really isn't a more important topic than this one, so don't miss this episode and series.   Additional Resources Roy may have mentioned on the show:   Roy's Website: https://coachingwithroy.com   Roy's Relationship Fitness Self-Assessment Test: https://coachingwithroy.com/the-relationship-fitness-self-test/   Roy's 4 Books: ·      Quantum Questions: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F4RFZBS3/ ·      Relationship Bootcamp: https://amzn.to/360UsMR ·      Attracting Lasting Love: http://amzn.to/1UnYeYh ·      A Drink with Legs: https://amzn.to/31UBl3K     Roy's Group Coaching Program: https://coachingwithroy.com/group-coaching/   Roy's Complimentary 45-min.

Explore how early conditioning shapes your inner voice, and how to return to your wise, authentic self.Do you know whose voice is guiding your decisions? In this Life Lesson, we explore how the Inner Child absorbs the beliefs, expectations, and emotional rules of authority figures — and how those inherited voices can quietly shape our adult lives. Through Taoist wisdom, we learn how to distinguish conditioned thinking from our true inner knowing and wise inner guide, reconnect with our inherent worth, and gently return to authenticity, clarity, and alignment. This is an invitation to stop living by inherited rules and begin trusting the quiet truth within.With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).Discover our online consultations, events and shop: https://www.wuweiwisdom.comSubscribe to David's FREE Journal: https://davidjameslees.substack.com/Other related teachings on our YouTube channel that will help you:SHEN (THE SPIRITUAL SELF) PLAYLIST https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9NQ_PWX4zIBmp50wYcmU7jCBLp1Qvl-jShen (The Spiritual Self) Guided Meditation https://youtu.be/BM2CNYvI45Y?si=KLQdxovVFqbxDYNaINNER CHILD PLAYLIST  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9NQ_PWX4zICGLRS1b7q1HSJhZRash5qqIs there a question you'd like answered on the show?

Click the survey link in the show notes wherever you're listening, or go directly to: https://tinyurl.com/happyhappysurvey. Thank you for helping us make the podcast even better!One Way To Do This Practice: Stand and settle: Stand with your feet hip-width apart, knees soft, arms relaxed by your sides. Take a moment to feel the ground beneath your feet and let your body arrive. Ground through your feet: Gently rock or sway in small circles, slowly shifting your weight to notice different parts of your feet making contact with the floor. Let your balance find its own rhythm. Breathe slowly and naturally: Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth, allowing your breath to deepen without forcing it. Imagine your breath moving through your whole body, not just your chest. Begin gentle, flowing movements: Move your arms and torso in smooth, continuous motions—circling, swaying, or softly lifting and lowering your hands. Keep your movements relaxed and fluid rather than stiff or controlled. Soften your body and attention: Release unnecessary tension in your jaw, shoulders, and hands. Place your attention on how the movements feel from head to toe, letting your mind stay with sensation rather than thoughts. Close with stillness: After 10–15 minutes, return to standing quietly. Notice any changes in your energy, mood, or sense of grounding before stepping back into your day.

What do you do when you're blindsided by unexpected and total life changes? I'm talking about the kind that shatter your sense of identity, happiness, and success all at once. How do you manage those overwhelming emotions and find a direction again? In this episode, you'll learn just that: how to grow and heal when everything falls apart, find direction when you're feeling trapped, and rebuild your sense of well-being for a new version of love, happiness, and success. I'm joined by Maya Shankar, a cognitive scientist, creator of the podcast A Slight Change of Plans, and the first Behavioral Science Advisor to the United Nations. Maya brings both personal experience and research-backed insight to the question so many people ask during major life transitions: Why does this feel so exhausting, disorienting, and scary — and how do I move forward without losing myself? Together, we talk about why life changes often feel like a threat to your identity, why uncertainty can drain your energy, and why there's no single “right” way to grieve after major life events. Maya shares gentle, practical ways to begin healing that don't require pushing yourself to be positive, rushing the process, or overhauling your life when you're already tired.

We all have that one thing we're avoiding right now. Whether it's hitting the gym, starting that side hustle, or finally getting to bed at a reasonable hour—we keep putting it off even though we know it's exactly what we need to level up our lives. And trust me, I get it, Netflix and cozy blankets are calling my name too. But here's the really exciting thing—I sat down with the absolutely brilliant Kati Morton (she's THE expert on making hard things easier, with a master's from Pepperdine University and an incredible way of breaking down complex psychology into doable steps). We dove deep into why our brains resist change so much and, more importantly, how to actually get ourselves to do those big, scary things that lead to massive transformation. If you've ever felt stuck between knowing what you should do and actually doing it, this episode is going to be a game-changer. It's packed with those practical, science-backed strategies we love, but delivered in a way that feels like chatting with your smartest friend.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Teresa Edwards. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to introduce Teresa Edwards’ book The Mirror Method: 12 Weeks to Stop Abandoning Yourself, a guided workbook designed to help individuals overcome people-pleasing tendencies, set boundaries, and prioritize their own needs without guilt. It focuses on personal empowerment, mental health, and rediscovering one’s authentic self. Key Takeaways People-Pleasing and Boundaries People-pleasing becomes harmful when you agree to things you don’t want to do, leading to stress and resentment. Setting boundaries is essential for self-respect and mental health. The Mirror Method A 12-week guided process to “unravel” harmful patterns and rediscover your true self. Emphasizes self-reflection, journaling, and gradual transformation at your own pace. Selfishness vs. Self-Care Edwards reframes “selfish” as a positive concept: prioritizing your health and happiness is necessary, not negative. You can’t be your best for others if you’re not your best for yourself. Health as a Wake-Up Call Stress is a silent killer; Teresa’s own health issues (high blood pressure) forced her to reevaluate her life. Happiness and well-being should not be age-limited—“You’re never too old to return to yourself.” Letting Go of Toxic Relationships Users often exploit people-pleasers; recognizing and removing such relationships is crucial. Fully committing to the Mirror Method means accepting hard truths and being okay with losing people who drain you. Therapy and Mental Health COVID accelerated acceptance of therapy in communities where it was previously stigmatized. Mental health is as important as physical health—“The mind is a muscle too.” Workbook Details Available on Amazon and at themirrormethodworkbook.com in print and downloadable formats. Exercises involve writing and self-reflection to confront truths and break patterns. Notable Quotes “Boundaries are key.” “Selfish is not a negative word—it’s perseverance of yourself.” “You can’t throw a party and be mad at your own party.” “Enough is enough—look in the mirror and say it.” “You’re never too old to return to yourself.” “Stress is that silent killer.” “Fully commit means accepting all those good, bad, or ugly moments—and being okay with letting go.” “The mind is a muscle too.” “Be okay with being okay.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
