Podcasts about Happiness

Alicia Keys has spent nearly three decades using her voice to move the world, but the most powerful thing she's learned is how to listen to her own. The seventeen-time Grammy Award winner joins Hoda for a soulful conversation at Making Space Wellness Day at Brooklyn's Wythe Hotel about trusting your intuition, unlearning old habits, and finding stillness in a world that rarely slows down. Alicia also opens up about creating her wellness brand, Keys Soulcare, her Broadway musical Hell's Kitchen, and the peace that comes when you finally bet on yourself.

If you've ever felt like you're doing everything “right” with your health but still not seeing results, this episode is for you. I sit down with Dr. Jessica Knurick, a PhD in nutrition science and registered dietitian with over 15 years of experience in chronic disease prevention, to uncover why Americans are getting sicker. Spoiler: it's not just about diet or exercise—it's about the systems shaping our lives in ways we don't even realize.  We dive deep into how our food environment, healthcare structure, and political systems were built for profit, not people, and how that reality quietly shapes everything from what ends up in our grocery stores to who can afford preventive care.  We also tackle the viral health debates taking over social media—like the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, raw milk, and claims about Tylenol and autism—using the latest scientific research to separate fact from fiction.  You'll leave feeling empowered to take action not just in your own kitchen, but in your community and at the ballot box. 

Do you ever feel as if you're too busy to meditate, or that you're simply not very good at it? This is something that so many people experience, yet today's guest believes that this is ONLY because of a fundamental misunderstanding about what meditation really is.   Henry Shukman is an authorised Zen Master and Spiritual Director of the Mountain Cloud Zen Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Over the years, Henry has taught meditation at organisations including Google, Harvard Business School and the Esalen Institute, AND he is also the co-founder of ‘The Way' meditation app, which offers a unique pathway of training designed to help people deepen their practice. Henry is ALSO an award-winning poet and the author of several books, including his latest ‘Original Love: The Four Inns on the Path of Awakening', which explores meditation as a path to compassion, healing and presence. In our conversation, we explore how meditation can reconnect us with kindness, compassion and a deeper sense of being alive, including: Why meditation isn't about achieving something new, but about rediscovering love – whether that's compassion for ourselves, care for others or a deeper sense of connection with life itself How even just five minutes each day can begin to calm the nervous system, ease stress and help us feel more present Why kindness and compassion sit at the heart of health and happiness, and how practices like meditation help us embody them more fullyHenry's personal story of living with severe eczema, and how meditation helped him transform both his physical health and his relationship with himself The “four inns” of meditation – mindfulness, support, absorption and awakening – and how they offer a clear and practical roadmap for practice Practical, accessible ways to bring meditation into life, from stacking it with other habits to finding moments of stillness amid a busy day This episode is a great reminder that meditation isn't about adding another chore to your list or trying to empty your mind of all thoughts. Many people find it difficult at first and assume they're not cut out for it, but as Henry explains, there's no such thing as a bad meditation – the only one that doesn't count is the one you don't do. It's about pausing, being still and coming back to the peace and presence that are part of being human. In a world that constantly pushes us to do more, Henry's message is a reassuring one: that peace, kindness and love are not rewards to be earned, but parts of who we already are. Reading Henry's most recent book had a profound impact on me, and I hope that this conversation brings you some of the same insight and inspiration. I hope you enjoy listening.

Let's get one thing straight: happiness isn't the “perk” at the end of success. It's the precondition for it. Jessica Weiss — Happiness Expert, corporate strategist, and author of Happiness Works: The Science of Thriving at Work — dismantles the myth that happiness is soft, fluffy, or found in a corner office. Spoiler: it's measurable, trainable, and completely within your control.Jessica spent 15 years advising the world's biggest brands — Coca-Cola, J&J, AmEx — before realizing something startling: she'd hit every career benchmark and still wasn't happy. That revelation sparked a decade of research into what truly makes people thrive at work. What she discovered is not another feel-good formula. It's science. It's structure. And it's a radical call to rewire how we define success. In this episode, you'll find out Why the “dream job” is a myth — and how to create happiness, not wait for it. The five pillars shared by people who flourish instead of flounder: connection, resilience, optimism, progress, and trust. The neuroscience behind joy — how writing down three good things literally rewires your brain for happiness. How psychological safety (not ping-pong tables) predicts performance and innovation. Why progress is more powerful than promotion — and what that means for your team. How to spot (and stop) burnout using the “antidote” Jessica calls strategic optimism. The Mic Drop Happiness isn't a mood. It's infrastructure. It's not about balance — it's about design. And it's not waiting somewhere outside of you. You build it — one relationship, one mindset shift, one meaningful moment of progress at a time. (edited) Timestamps (0:00) – Intro: Why job security is outdated (1:25) – When success doesn't equal happiness (4:22) – The 5 levers of real workplace happiness (7:08) – Strategic optimism over toxic positivity (9:25) – Building your dream job from where you are (11:52) – Return-to-office without losing joy (17:29) – Two metrics that predict thriving at work (21:38) – The neuroscience of happiness & burnout Pre-order Jessica's book: Happiness Works: The Science of Thriving at Work — out 11/11 Connect with Jessica: jessicaweiss.com | LinkedIn Follow Loren & watch the show: LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/lorengreiff/ Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/portfoliorocket/ YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpGM7j8croBkkZ4bLqN7DOQ/ 30-Day Blast — the fast, focused system for today's market.

Our thoughts are real, but not always true. This episode invites listeners to look beyond the stories the mind creates and find freedom from worry, stress, and self-doubt. Through mindfulness and gentle awareness, it offers a path to calm and clarity in uncertain moments. Listeners are encouraged to trust that every thought can be met with curiosity and compassion, opening the way to inner peace, resilience, and a deeper sense of hope for what is possible. Poem: Our Thoughts Are Real, But Not Always True Our thoughts rise like waves on an endless sea, shaping the shore of who we think we are. They rush in, fierce and convincing, pulling us into stories of what might break, what might never come, what might already be lost. They feel real because they are. They move through the body, tighten the chest, quicken the breath, stir the storm. But truth lives somewhere quieter. It waits beneath the noise, in the still water that holds every wave. It asks nothing but a pause, a single breath, a question whispered to the mind: Is this thought true? The unknown is not our enemy. It is the open sky that can let every cloud of thought drift by. Calm is not something we find, but something we remember. In the space between belief and truth, there is peace. There is possibility. And there we can be, the sky, not the storm.

Technology promised us progress, and it delivered. But it also left us disconnected, distracted, and disheartened at the same time. With AI advancing faster than human adaptation or regulation, will it erode our humanity, or can it become the very tool that helps us flourish?In this episode of the Happiness Squad Podcast, Ashish Kothari sits down with Tamara Lechner to explore how AI can bridge the gap between what we know and what we practice in the pursuit of human flourishing.Tamara Lechner is a happiness expert, author, and global speaker. As Chair of the AI & Human Flourishing Working Group at Harvard, she helps leaders and organizations apply the science of flourishing to create meaningful, human-centered futures.In the conversation, Ashish and Tamara unpack how AI can either harm or uplift us, and what it will take for leaders, organizations, and individuals to put humans at the heart of this powerful technology.Things you will learn in this episode:• Why AI is both friend and foe depending on how we use it.• The three ethical AI pillars: productivity, protection from harm, and fairness.• The overlooked dimensions of flourishing AI must support• Why organizations—not just individuals—must own responsibility for burnout and culture.• How to shift from audience to activist in shaping the future of technologyJoin us in building a future where technology enhances humanity rather than diminishes it.

Joel Hammon—former public school teacher, founder of Princeton Learning Cooperative, co-founder of Liberated Learners, and author of The Teacher Liberation Handbook—joins Kerry to explore the global rise of self-directed learning centers. These community-based programs, including the Princeton Learning Cooperative and many more within the Liberated Learners network, offer homeschooled tweens and teens a flexible alternative to conventional school: no forced curriculum and an individualized path guided by curiosity and purpose. Joel shares his transformation from classroom teacher to education entrepreneur, and how the North Star model inspired a movement of "learning cooperatives" that work like a YMCA for education—students choose when to attend, what to learn, and how to grow. We talk about college admissions for self-directed learners, how narrative transcripts help teens transition smoothly to their next step, and why demand for these centers continues to rise. If you're curious about self-directed education—or considering starting a center yourself—this conversation offers inspiration, practical guidance, and a look at the future of learner-driven freedom. *** Sign up for Kerry's free, weekly email newsletter on education trends at edentrepreneur.org.

They are an end in themselves.” (page 51).   The Good Life, by Robert Waldinger, MD, and Marc Schulz, PhD.   Living with Heart podcast content focus is always about how we are created to find fulfillment through relationships.    We are created as emotional and spiritual creatures, created to do one thing in this life and that is live fully.    We cannot live fully unless we are doing so in relationship with ourselves, others, and God. The Voice of the Heart by Chip Dodd, PhD.   Digital age Since the early 21st century our children have been living in a time unlike any other in history. The technological advances, starting with the internet, then the cell phone, and now AI, have presented parents and children with a significant dilemma, one that will require some difficult choices to combat the negative consequences of our extraordinary advancements.  Digital technology has been proven to be addictive; screening distracts people from their emotions and addressing their needs for connecting relationally. Screening distracts people from their emotions and needs for connecting relationally, and AI puts people at risk of avoiding the brain work of thinking. We are creating a world in which we are not actually involved, with “sweat, thinking, touching the dirt, needing others with us, etc.” FOMO and the increase of depression and anxiety is directly related to the digital age.   Click here to continue reading the episode highlights.

In this solo episode, I explore The Progress Principle, a concept discovered by two Harvard researchers who studied what really drives happiness and motivation. After analyzing thousands of daily journal entries, they found that the single biggest factor that keeps people inspired isn't recognition, money, or praise—it's the feeling of making progress.  In this episode, I share how the tiniest forward motion sends a signal to the brain that says, “This feels good, do it again.” This isn't just a nice mindset trick— it's a complete rewiring of your brain's reward system. Our brains are generally wired to miss our own progress. We adapt so quickly to improvements that yesterday's dream becomes today's baseline. We also have a negativity bias; our minds cling to what's not working instead of what is. The result? We feel stuck, unmotivated, or like we're not doing enough, even when we're growing in extraordinary ways. I share exactly how to override that mental wiring with simple, science-backed tools so you can stay consistent and actually achieve your goals.  What You'll Learn: Why dopamine isn't about reward-it's about momentum. The “Done List” method that helps you reflect on and record your daily micro wins. How celebration strengthens new habits by pairing progress with positive emotion. Why asking someone else to reflect on your growth can transform your self-perception. How to reframe the “arrival fallacy” so you find joy in the journey, not just the finish line. I'll also walk you through my own story! How a conversation with my therapist sister changed how I think about effort and self-worth, and how acknowledging my small wins made me feel more capable, calm, and genuinely proud of my progress for the first time in years. If you've ever felt like you're spinning your wheels, constantly setting goals and falling off track, or measuring yourself against an impossible version of success, this episode is for you.  ✨ Homework: Pause for a moment today and write down three small things you've accomplished…no matter how ordinary they seem. Maybe you sent an email you've been avoiding, made a healthy meal, or got out of bed on a hard morning. That's progress. That's growth. That's the chemistry of momentum in real time.

Life in the Vine - Week 8October 26, 2025Teacher: Pastor Dave BrownYou are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other.— John 15:14-17I call you friends…but this is my command?Perhaps we may now hazard a guess why Scripture uses Friendship so rarely as an image of the highest love.  It is already, in actual fact, too spiritual to be a good symbol of Spiritual things.— C.S. LewisAppreciative love gazes and holds its breath and is silent, rejoices that such a wonder should exist even if not for him, will not be wholly dejected by losing her, would rather have it so than never to have seen her at all.— C.S. LewisNow and forever more, we are friends of God.  We just don't always act like it.A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.— Proverbs 17:17Savior AND LordWe hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.— Declaration of IndependenceIt is impossible for any created good to constitute man's happiness.  For happiness is the perfect good, which lulls the appetite altogether…This is to be found, not in any creature, but in God alone…God alone constitutes man's happiness.— AquinasIt would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.— C.S. LewisThis is my command: Love each other.— John 15:17When spiritual vitality is measured by sin-avoidance, we deceive ourselves into thinking that we are following Jesus faithfully. But following Jesus is to be measured by love—love for God expressed in love for neighbor. This is the good, beautiful, and kind life. It took me some years to realize this. In fact, I need to be reminded of it often.— Rich VIllodasLife has no better gift to give.— C.S. Lewis

When was the last time you felt at peace? Does joy feel distant for you right now? Is life wearing you down? If so, this sermon’s for you. Because John teaches us something profound: Real joy in this life is always tied to truth. Not circumstances, not emotion, not success, but when we are walking with God’s presence, in truth. Do you know what the difference is between happiness and joy? If you’ve been at GraceLife for a while you might. Happiness is circumstantial. Happiness depends on what happens. It’s a conditional emotion. But joy is not happiness. Joy survives a bad medical report, a lost job, a catastrophic life event, or even what seems to be unanswered prayer. Happiness is fragile. But Joy isn’t. Joy endures when circumstances change, sustains you when everything falls apart. But most of us have confused the two. We talk a lot about wanting joy, but most of what we chase isn’t joy at all. It’s happiness dressed up like joy. We chase the next moment, but all it takes is one hard day for it to disappear. And then we are confused, perplexed, even bitter when it seems Joy is elusive, unattainable, or unsustainable. If you’ve lost your joy, its not because life got harder. Perhaps it’s because circumstances have tested your anchor, revealing your drift from the presence of God, from truth, or, if you were anchored to the wrong “truth” to begin with.

The Universe Isn't Punishing You, It's Polishing You Life can feel like a series of endless challenges, setbacks, and hardships. But what if we told you that the universe isn't punishing you, but rather, it's polishing you? In this episode, we'll explore how to transform your perspective on struggle and find the growth opportunities hidden within every difficult experience. New Episode of the Happiness Podcast with Dr. Robert Puff, Ph.D.

Did you know the average person says around 16,000 words a day, but only one in five are actually positive? That stat from the University of Arizona blew my mind — and honestly, it made me stop and ask, am I speaking more complimentary or more critical?In this solo episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I dive deep into one of the most powerful mindset shifts that has changed the way I communicate, in my marriage, my business, and my own self-talk. It's all about replacing criticism with genuine compliments and learning how to speak life into the people (and moments) around you.Here are a few key takeaways from this episode:Your words are building or breaking connection — Every sentence is either bringing you closer or pushing you apart from your partner, your kids, your team, even yourself.The “5:1 ratio” is real — According to the Gottman Institute, successful relationships have five positive interactions for every one negative one. When that ratio flips, so does the harmony.What you reinforce gets repeated — Whether it's your spouse, your kids, or your employees, people thrive when they're recognized and appreciated. Highlight what's working — it multiplies.Curiosity beats criticism — Instead of asking “Why did you do that?” (which usually triggers defensiveness), try “Help me understand what you were thinking.” It opens the door for empathy and connection.The Flip-the-Script Challenge — For the next 7 days, catch yourself when you're about to criticize and replace it with a compliment or a question. You'll be amazed at how quickly your energy — and relationships — shift.This episode is a powerful reminder that our words are spells. They can heal or hurt, connect or divide, uplift or drain. So, speak life. Be the person who compliments more, criticizes less, and spreads positivity everywhere you go.Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

Scott Galloway speaks with Heather Cox Richardson, a historian at Boston College and author of Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America, as well as the widely-read Substack Letters from an American. They discuss the ‘No Kings' protests and what they reveal about the state of U.S. democracy, the erosion of moral and corporate leadership, and the redefinition of patriotism in a polarized America. Heather explains how history helps us understand today's authoritarian drift, why civic courage has faded among elites, and how national service could help rebuild a shared sense of purpose.

What happens when imagination meets perception, and ordinary objects come alive? We explore the science of pareidolia.Summary: Our minds are wired to find meaning, even in randomness— which is why sometimes we can see faces and patterns in everyday objects. In this episode of The Science of Happiness, we explore how this phenomenon, called pareidolia, can shift how we experience our surroundings and open ourselves to more creativity, connection, and calm.How To Do This Practice: Pause and settle: Take a few slow breaths and allow yourself to slow down. Let your mind soften its focus. Choose your space: Look around your home, your walk, or wherever you are. Everyday objects work best— walls, trees, clouds, shadows. Let curiosity lead: Notice shapes, textures, or patterns that catch your eye. Don't try to find something, just observe. See what appears: Allow your imagination to play. Do you see a face, an animal, a tiny scene hidden in plain sight? Stay with it: Notice how it feels to find meaning in randomness. What emotions or memories come up? Reflect and return: Take a final look around. Does your space or the way you see the things around you feel any different now?

From building a billion-dollar beauty empire to starting over at 60, Bobbi Brown's story is one of grit, grace, and growth…but behind her success lies a deep journey of reinvention. Bobbi opens up to Hoda about her mother's struggle with mental illness, her unlikely path to becoming a world-renowned makeup artist, and the moment she walked away from the brand that bore her name. She shares how she rebuilt her life and career with her clean beauty line, Jones Road, what keeps her grounded as a mother and grandmother, and why she believes the best chapters don't end with success, but begin when you find the strength to start over.
