POPULARITY
You've checked the boxes. Climbed the ladder. Achieved the success the world told you to chase. But if you've ever sat in a moment of "Is this all there is?"—wondering what fulfillment actually looks like—this conversation is for you.In this episode, I sit down with Amy Blankson, a joy and happiness expert, contributor to Oprah's Happiness Course, and my co-creator of the Kickass Women's Retreat. Together, we're building a space for high-achieving women to unmask their greatness—not by resetting, but by reckoning with the silent sacrifices and redefining what success and joy truly mean.This isn't about checking more boxes. It's about stripping away expectations, reconnecting with what actually feels right, and stepping into the most powerful version of yourself—the one driven by intention and joy, not obligation.If you're ready to shed the weight of ‘shoulds' and reclaim the life you actually want, press play. And if you want to take this journey even deeper, come join us in June at the Kickass Women's Retreat—a transformational weekend designed to help you unmask, rise, and thrive.
Science can change your life. The more we study what makes people develop, grow, learn, and flourish—the more we see how the practical application of scientific findings can help us transform our life and experience—into a life of value, meaning, purpose and true thriving.Yale psychologist Laurie Santos has spent her career investigating the human brain and how it thrives. From her popular Yale course to her podcast, The Happiness Lab, she's communicating actionable and hopeful lessons for how to build lasting habits, cultivate self-compassion, manage complex emotions, and realign our lives toward meaningful happiness.In this conversation with Dr. Laurie Santos, we discuss:How the mental health crisis affecting young people changed her, and how she teaches psychologyHow our brains lie to usThe role of positive and negative emotions in a good lifeHow feeling good can lead to doing goodThe psychological and relational benefits of faith and spiritualityAnd she offers practical insights, science-backed guidance, and powerful exercises for managing misalignment and difficult emotions.Laurie Santos on how to activate psychological science for more happiness and meaning (from the episode):“Some of these factors that we know scientifically do work. From simple behavior changes like being more social, doing nice things for others, just healthy habits like sleeping and moving your body, to mindset shifts, to becoming a little bit more present, to becoming more other oriented, to becoming more grateful, more self-compassionate, and so on.There are shifts that we can make that can have a huge effect on how we actually interact in the world.We need to understand that we're not perfect, we're just human. And we will mess up a little bit too. But it's really the journey that matters.”About Laurie SantosDr. Laurie Santos is the Chandrika and Ranjan Tandon Professor of Psychology at Yale University and host of The Happiness Lab podcast. Dr. Santos is an expert on the science of happiness. Her Yale course, Psychology and the Good Life, teaches students how the science of psychology can provide important hints about how to make wiser choices and live a life that's happier and more fulfilling. Her course recently became Yale's most popular course in over 300 years, with almost one of our four students at Yale enrolled. Her course has been featured in numerous news outlets including the New York Times, NBC Nightly News, The Today Show, GQ Magazine, Slate and O! Magazine. A winner of numerous awards both for her science and teaching, she was recently voted as one of Popular Science Magazine's “Brilliant 10” young minds, and was named in Time Magazine as a “Leading Campus Celebrity.” Her podcast, The Happiness Lab, has over 100 million downloads.Listen to The Happiness Lab podcastVisit [drlauriesantos.com](http://drlauriesantos.comhttps://www.drlauriesantos.com/)Show NotesHow Laurie got up close with the mental health crisis affecting young peopleSelf-careThe history of The Happiness Course at Yale UniversityThe impact of COVID-19“Things have gotten worse.”Statistics: More than 40% of college students report they are too depressed to functionAnxieties provoked by technology (Jonathan Haidt and Jean Twenge)Stress levels across the developmental lifespanHow our brains lie to usBehavioral changes and healthy habitsMindset shifts and dispositional transformationsThe importance of science for validating spiritual beliefs, values, and practicesSometimes spiritual traditions get some things right, but can also be wrong, and need empirical studyManifestationImagining the positive outcome isn't as good as planning out the if-then strategy.“The science can help us with the nuance so we can really get things right.”Laurie Santos defines happinessPsychological approach to happiness: “subjective well-being”Positive vs Negative Emotions and the role they play in a good lifeWhy is happiness helpful to us?

This episode originally aired on September 12, 2022.In the entire 321-year history of Yale University, the most popular class ever is a relatively new one called “Psychology and the Good Life”, taught by Dr. Laurie Santos. Since it's debut in 2018, it has proved to be so much in demand that Yale now offers a version of the class for free online to anyone in the world.Part of the appeal is that Dr. Santos is a really great professor. She's smart, presents lessons in a compelling way. But beyond that, the class holds appeal because so many people these days are not happy at all, with college students reporting depression and anxiety in numbers that are astronomical and terrifying. This trend was happening before the pandemic and has only gotten worse since.In this interview, Dr. Santos, who also hosts the podcast The Happiness Lab, talks about what happier people have in common and how to implement practices in your own life to start doing better. Importantly, this isn't a recipe for suddenly being a character in a musical comedy, jumping and singing for joy all the time. That's unrealistic and frankly a bit gross. But students who learn from her teachings report an incremental uptick in their levels of happiness, laying the foundation for better times ahead.Helpful Links:Paul Rudd goofing around to the Partridge Family in Ant Man and The Wasp: youtube.com/watch?v=LzXywwT9fI0The Worry About Yourself Video: youtu.be/4A6Bu96ALOwThe Science of Well-Being course on Coursera: coursera.org/learn/the-science-of-well-beingDr. Santos at the Aspen Ideas Festival: youtube.com/watch?v=ZizdB0TgAVMListen to Dr. Laurie Santos' podcast, The Happiness Lab, wherever fine pods are cast.

Join us for this episode as we discuss her findings on the science of happiness and how it compares with our own experiences and yours.

There's a common saying that "living well is the best revenge" but certified health coach, psychotherapist, and author Nathalie Botros believes that living well – or "bon vivant" – is more than just revenge… it's the key to living a happy and healthy life! Nathalie finally caught up with Ash Brown after over 4 years. Like most entrepreneurs today she has had to adjust to the pandemic. However, it hasn't slowed her down. She opens up about her latest passion project Happiness Course, what it entails and how it will help singles that feel isolated.

My international background and fast-paced lifestyle helped me become who I am today. I spent my life running from city to city, job to job, partner to partner to find happiness... When I moved to New York, 15 years ago, I experienced the biggest weight gain of my life. I stopped my fun and crazy life and started being obsessed about my weight. I started trying all the diets on the market... "I was not losing any weight, but I was losing my joy, happiness and appetite for life." My fixation was so big that I started to get angry and depressed. After hitting rock bottom, I decided to take over my life. I blew up my destructive patterns of self-hate and disappointment and I created a new approach to self-love and accept myself. At the beginning of my journey, I thought losing weight was the key to my happiness... With time, I learned that being skinny, finding the job, the house or the partner was not going to bring me any joy or felling of success. I needed to first find the happiness without any condition. I am a Psychotherapist, Certified Health Coach, as well as a Success and Happiness Coach. Adding this knowledge to my life experiences, led me on my path to help others to be happy. Today, my Mission is to spread Happiness around me. While I try to communicate my message through my writings and interviews, I also work hand in hand with my clients from all over the world to design the road to their happiness and future. I push them to reach their potential, while I remain their biggest supporter. You should be Happy as well and it is time to Unleash the highest potential in you To your happiness, health and success Nathalie - The Bon-Vivant Girl www.thebon-vivantgirl.com About the show: ► Website: http://www.ashsaidit.com ► Need Goli Gummies? https://go.goli.com/1loveash5 ► For $5 in ride credit, download the Lyft app using my referral link: https://www.lyft.com/ici/ASH584216 ►For discount Pangea Products: https://embracepangaea.grsm.io/ashsaiditmedia3226 ► Want the ‘coldest' water? https://thecoldestwater.com/?ref=ashleybrown12 ► Become A Podcast Legend: http://ashsaidit.podcastersmastery.zaxaa.com/s/6543767021305 ► Review Us: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/ash-said-it/id1144197789 ► SUBSCRIBE HERE: http://www.youtube.com/c/AshSaidItSuwanee ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1loveash ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ashsaidit ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/1loveAsh ► Blog: http://www.ashsaidit.com/blog ► Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/1LoveAsh/ ► Newsletter: manage1.com/subscribe?u=2a2ca3b799467f125b53863http://ashsaidit.us11.list-c8&id=a6f43cd472 #atlanta #ashsaidit #ashsaidthat #ashblogsit #ashsaidit® Ash Brown is a gifted American producer, blogger, speaker, media personality and event emcee.

There's a common saying that "living well is the best revenge" but certified health coach, psychotherapist, and author Nathalie Botros believes that living well – or "bon vivant" – is more than just revenge… it's the key to living a happy and healthy life! Nathalie finally caught up with Ash Brown after over 4 years. Like most entrepreneurs today she has had to adjust to the pandemic. However, it hasn't slowed her down. She opens up about her latest passion project Happiness Course, what it entails and how it will help singles that feel isolated.

My international background and fast-paced lifestyle helped me become who I am today. I spent my life running from city to city, job to job, partner to partner to find happiness... When I moved to New York, 15 years ago, I experienced the biggest weight gain of my life. I stopped my fun and crazy life and started being obsessed about my weight. I started trying all the diets on the market... "I was not losing any weight, but I was losing my joy, happiness and appetite for life." My fixation was so big that I started to get angry and depressed. After hitting rock bottom, I decided to take over my life. I blew up my destructive patterns of self-hate and disappointment and I created a new approach to self-love and accept myself. At the beginning of my journey, I thought losing weight was the key to my happiness... With time, I learned that being skinny, finding the job, the house or the partner was not going to bring me any joy or felling of success. I needed to first find the happiness without any condition. I am a Psychotherapist, Certified Health Coach, as well as a Success and Happiness Coach. Adding this knowledge to my life experiences, led me on my path to help others to be happy. Today, my Mission is to spread Happiness around me. While I try to communicate my message through my writings and interviews, I also work hand in hand with my clients from all over the world to design the road to their happiness and future. I push them to reach their potential, while I remain their biggest supporter. You should be Happy as well and it is time to Unleash the highest potential in you To your happiness, health and success Nathalie - The Bon-Vivant Girl www.thebon-vivantgirl.com About the show: ► Website: http://www.ashsaidit.com ► Need Goli Gummies? https://go.goli.com/1loveash5 ► For $5 in ride credit, download the Lyft app using my referral link: https://www.lyft.com/ici/ASH584216 ►For discount Pangea Products: https://embracepangaea.grsm.io/ashsaiditmedia3226 ► Want the ‘coldest' water? https://thecoldestwater.com/?ref=ashleybrown12 ► Become A Podcast Legend: http://ashsaidit.podcastersmastery.zaxaa.com/s/6543767021305 ► Review Us: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/ash-said-it/id1144197789 ► SUBSCRIBE HERE: http://www.youtube.com/c/AshSaidItSuwanee ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1loveash ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ashsaidit ► Twitter: https://twitter.com/1loveAsh ► Blog: http://www.ashsaidit.com/blog ► Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/1LoveAsh/ ► Newsletter: manage1.com/subscribe?u=2a2ca3b799467f125b53863http://ashsaidit.us11.list-c8&id=a6f43cd472 #atlanta #ashsaidit #ashsaidthat #ashblogsit #ashsaidit® Ash Brown is a gifted American producer, blogger, speaker, media personality and event emcee.

In the month of February, we discuss the most serious topic yet on What They Don’t Teach You: depression. Paula bravely and frankly shares her experience of dealing with depression. She's suffered from depression for as long as she can remember. She shares her perspective on tips people can implement if someone close to them is going through depression. We also lift the curtain behind the word ‘depression’ and examine what thoughts lurk underneath the term and discuss tools we’ve found essential to helping us deal with this mental illness. In this episode, Paula and I both recommend checking out Insight Timer, a free meditative app. Separately, I also personally recommend people check out EdEx’s The Science of Happiness Course (woops, in the intro I say Coursera instead of EdEx, my bad!), provided by leading positive psychologists from the University of Berkeley. It’s free to join and is a powerful aid in increasing one’s happiness immeasurably. What They Don't Teach You is on iTunes, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and other podcast apps.

This week Phil talks with Dr Andrew Parham who has published a new book called 'Lasting Happiness - In Search of Deeper Meaning and Fulfilment'. (Available on Amazon). Dr Parnham also runs The Happiness Course. Drawing on both current research and from his own expensive experience as a doctor, a community leader and teacher, Dr Parnham talks about how we are wired and what actually makes us happy.
"Captivate" is more than just the title of her new book, it is the effect that Vanessa Van Edwards has on audiences through her videos, articles, and data-driven insights. Vanessa is a self-described recovering awkward person who went from hiding in the bathroom and avoiding people at parties to literally writing the book on deciphering human behavior. She founded her own research lab, the Science of People, and has traveled the world as a speaker presenting her findings to prestigious universities, Fortune 500 companies, and media outlets such as The Today Show, The Wall Street Journal, and much more. Learn from the certified fraud examiner, body language expert, and author as she shares practical insights for decoding human behavior in this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. PULL QUOTES “I believe that every person has a cipher. They have a set of values that you can solve about them…if you turn it in the right ways.” [8:13] “If we feel like we can change everything, we also might not optimize for how we are naturally wired.” [20:36] “The biggest thing that happens with friendships is that they do go stale.” [25:32] “We can unlearn our helplessness to learn to help ourselves.” [55:26] “We don’t realize that happiness comes in these very small moments every day.” [55:57] “Look at your struggle as immersive empathy.” [48:46] SHOW NOTES Vanessa explains what drew her to the science of solving people and why everyone has a cipher.

I like to cheekily describe my friend Andy Parnham as a happiness guru. He works part of the week for the charity Livability, that serves people with disabilities, while the rest of the time he acts as an independent wellbeing advisor and coach, running amongst other things, The Happiness Course. This is in a variety of settings, including schools, health centres, companies and the voluntary sector. Do join us on this podcast as Andy and I discuss a subject of relevance to every one of us. We discuss and explore: How happiness is not the same as wellness. The over-emphasis on physical health when we talk about wellness. The need to also include emotional, psychological, spiritual, relational and community aspects to fully understand wellness. How and why Andy developed The Happiness Course. How positive psychology research emphasises health is not just the absence of illness. What the research shows are the factors that contribute to a flourishing life - living lives of appreciation and gratitude. - nurturing healthy relationships. - forgiveness - practising acts of kindness - savouring experiences Some hard bottom line results that result from happy employees: - spend twice as long in their jobs as their least happy colleagues. - believe they are achieving their potential twice as much. - spend 65% more time feeling energised. - are 58% more likely to go out of the way to help their colleagues. - identify 98% more strongly with the values of their organisation. - are 186% more likely to recommend their organisation to a friend. What do we mean by the word happy or subjective well-being. The three dimensions of subjective well-being - pleasure, engagement and meaning. Distinguishing between happiness and joy. The four areas covered in the happiness course - the happy life, the successful life, the relational life and the meaningful life. Going on a journey from what makes me happy to what makes me fulfilled. A corporate view of happiness. The Jewish concept of 'shalom' that brings together the idea of overall wellbeing. For more on Andy's work and The Happiness Course see his and his wife Jill's website here. Andy has also written a guest posts for me: We're all materialists now! You may also find of interest Podcast #006: Rediscovering Joy Why I am working at becoming a happier person. Why is joy more important than happiness? The search for joy. The lies we tell ourselves about joy. Moving from disappointment to joy. What questions, thoughts and reflections does the search for happiness raise for you?
