Should we feel guilty for feeling happy?

Drawing on social science, philosophy, biography, theology, and Eastern wisdom, Brooks explains how true success in life is well within our reach. By refocusing on certain priorities and habits that anyone can learn, such as deep wisdom, detachment from empty rewards, connection & service to others, and spiritual progress, we can set ourselves up for increased happiness.In this episode, Arthur and James explore the powerful concepts in Arthur's books, discussing how they can be applied to achieve personal and professional growth.

Dr. Laura welcomes sociologist, author, and thought leader Tracy Brower to the show to talk about happiness and work, and why those two ideas aren't mutually exclusive. There is an incredible amount of research on happiness, as Tracy discovered when writing her latest book, The Secrets to Happiness at Work. She shares why she was compelled to write it and some of what she learned along the way.Tracy acknowledges that a lot of times we hear that “happiness is fluffy.”  On the contrary, she has found that happiness, and joy, are the drivers of physical and mental health, cognitive capability, and business benefits. She and Dr. Laura explore the ways in which work and life spill over into each other and how happiness in either one will tend to increase happiness in the other. Community, common goals, and our relationship to work are all places where happiness can be cultivated. Tracy's insights on joy in work are more relevant than ever in our post-pandemic society.  “The other thing we can do in terms of creating the conditions for happiness at work is looking for opportunities to grow, to learn, to stretch. When we're doing things that challenge us, it's extraordinarily correlated with happiness.” Tracy BrowerAbout Dr. Tracy Brower, PhD, MM, MCRW:Dr. Tracy Brower is a PhD sociologist studying work-life fulfillment and happiness. She is the author of a new book, The Secrets to Happiness at Work as well as her previous book, Bring Work to Life.

EPISODE 31 - Finding Your Way Back To Your Element, When You Are Out of It I have been reading Finding your Element by: Sir Ken Robinson - it is definitely a book worth reading. It is fully packed with inspiration and motivates you to make the best of your life. The book is full of exercises, which help you to define your areas of interests and find your element. I have pulled out a few thoughts from this book to share with you as well as a story of a time when I was WAY OUT OF MY ELEMENT - in a first class way! 1 - Passion reveals energy - If you're doing something that you love, by the end of the day you may be physically tired but spiritually energized. 2- Mindfulness is key - Mindfulness doesn't remove the ups and downs of life, it changes how experiences influence you and how you influence the experience…it changes your relationship with the world. 3- Find The Meaning of Happiness - Research suggests that 40% of what affects your actual levels of happiness is what you chose to do and how you choose to think and feel: in other words, your own behavior. 4- Recognize The Myth of Barriers - Way too often we set ourselves limitations in our own heads and restrict ourselves from living great lives. 5 - Find your tribe - Tribes that work together can achieve more than individuals acting alone because they stimulate each other's creativity and sense of possibility. 6 - Living your own life- Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones that you did do. Finding your own Element won't guarantee that you'll spend the rest of your life in a constant, unbroken state of pleasure and delight. It will give you a deeper sense of who you really are and of the life you could and maybe should live. Find your way back to your element when you feel that you are out of it - someone has handed you the ticket, take your seat and enjoy the flight!

Happiness Research What Makes You Happy Qasim Ali Shah.

Deep dive on the philosophy of Gross National Happiness (GNH) as developed in Bhutan. Karma Ura explores the origins of this radically different way to think about a nation's priorities based on measures of individual and collective happiness and well-being of the population, relationship with the environment--and Buddhist values. Karma Ura talks about the development of GNH in Bhutan and explains how the results of five yearly GNH surveys is incorporated into government policy—and also impacts the success of various Bhutanese environmental policies (Bhutan is the only country to have extended forest coverage over the last century.)  Dasha Karma Ura is president of the Center for Bhutan studies and gross national happiness research, he a researcher, scholar, artists and historian. Karma Ura is a key figure in the development of the concept of gross national happiness and Bhutan, formulating the nine domains of gross national happiness and has led various Gross National Happiness surveys. He holds various international roles, including Executive Committee Member of the School of Well-being, Chulalongkorn University, and San Nagarprada Foundation, Thailand, and 2010 Member of the Reflection Group on Global Development Perspectives, Global Policy Forum, Germany. He is also a Member of the Chief Economist's Advisory Panel, World Bank, representing the South Asia Region

Property and Freedom Podcast, Episode 073. This lecture is from the 2011 meeting of the Property and Freedom Society: Thomas DiLorenzo (USA), The Fallacies of “Happiness Research”. PFS 2011 Playlist.

 Millions of people are now suffering in this world, under the pain and difficulties of this pandemic. The last couple of years we have been suffering from this, and probably someday it will go as well, but the scar will remain for a longer period unless we do not play by the rules. That is unless we know that, what really happens if we do not follow certain practices.In this talk I'll try to tell you in nutshell, without going into the jargon of clinical psychologies, how to live in a situation beyond pandemic and how to reconnect happiness, which is the focal theme of this festival, congress, symposium, seminar, all put into one bracket, we call World Happiness Foundation. Every year we celebrate it.In the pandemic, two major changes have come up. One change has come up in the area of lifestyle and the other change that we are noticing is in the coping style. Let me tell you what do I mean by that.Lifestyle is something, the way we live our life. While I talk about coping style, the way we develop a strategy to accommodate stress within and outside, both consciously and unconsciously. As human beings we have been doing it for quite some time, coping with the environment, the stress we get, come back to our safe point, and once again we get it. It's a dynamic process.(...) “The world needs new lenses to understand growth and how humans and societies can thrive.” ~ Luis Gallardo Follow the World Happiness Foundation and the World Happiness Fest here:Website: https://worldhappiness.foundation/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/worldhappinessfoundation/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/worldhappinessfestLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/worldhappiness-foundation/Twitter: https://twitter.com/worldhappinessfYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8CGp4Y7TyGKKrT35fkXg5A  

welcome to the nonlinear library, where we use text-to-speech software to convert the best writing from the rationalist and ea communities into audio. This is: Health and happiness research topics—Part 1: Background on QALYs and DALYs, published by Derek on the effective altruism forum. Sequence contents Background on QALYs and DALYs The HALY+: Improving preference-based health metrics The sHALY: Developing subjective wellbeing-based health metrics The WELBY (i): Measuring states worse than dead The WELBY (ii): Establishing cardinality The WELBY (iii): Capturing spillover effects The WELBY (iv): Other measurement challenges Applications in effective altruism Applications outside effective altruism Conclusions Sequence summary Note: As many of the posts have not yet been completed, I may edit this summary to reflect the final content. This series of posts describes some of the metrics commonly used to evaluate health interventions and estimate the burden of disease, explains some problems with them, presents some alternatives, and suggests some potentially fruitful areas for further research.[1] It is primarily aimed at members of the effective altruism (EA) community who may wish to carry out one of the projects. Many of the topics would be suitable for student dissertations (especially in health economics, public health, psychology, and perhaps philosophy), but some of the most promising ideas would require major financial investment. Parts of the sequence—particularly the first and last posts—may also be worth reading for EAs with a general interest in evaluation methodology, global health, mental health, social care, and related fields. I begin by looking at health-adjusted life-years (HALYs), particularly the quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) and the disability-adjusted life-year (DALY). By combining length of life and level of health in one metric, these enable direct comparison across a wide variety of health conditions, making them popular both for evaluating healthcare programmes and for quantifying the burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors in a population. I've also heard EAs using these concepts informally as a generic unit of value. However, HALYs have a number of major shortcomings in their current form. In particular, they: neglect non-health consequences of health interventions rely on poorly-informed judgements of the general public fail to acknowledge extreme suffering (and happiness) are difficult to interpret, capturing some but not all spillover effects are of little use in prioritising across sectors or cause areas This can lead to inefficient allocation of resources, in healthcare and beyond. Broadly, three alternative measures[2] could be developed in order to address these limitations: The HALY+: a tweaked version of the original QALY or DALY that captures some non-health outcomes and/or relies on more informed preferences. The sHALY: a “subjective wellbeing-based HALY” that retains the health-focused descriptive system but assigns weights to health states using experienced wellbeing rather than preferences. The WELBY: a wellbeing-adjusted life-year that can, in principle, capture the benefits of all kinds of intervention. A variation, the pWELBY, uses preferences to assign weights to each level of wellbeing. After introducing these metrics, this sequence of posts considers the additional research required to create them, and potential applications both within and outside EA. The importance, tractability, and neglectedness of each major project is briefly considered, though I do not attempt a formal priority ranking.[3] For individual researchers, my extremely tentative view is that work to establish the “dead point” (below which are states worse than dead) and lower bound on wellbeing scales is likely to have the greatest payoff—but, as with careers in general, the best choice of project is likely to depend heavily on personal fit. For well-funded research teams, including some large EA orga...

What's happiness got to do with artificial intelligence? More than you may think. This week I had the honor of speaking with Mo Gawdat, Former Chief Business Officer at Google [X] and Renowned Author in Happiness Research and Artificial Intelligence. His upcoming book, Scary Smart, releasing on September 30th, discusses how the very essence of what makes us human is what will save humanity in the age of AI. In this episode, we chat about how living a life full of meaning and happiness can shape AI for the better, and why its our responsibility to "raise" these machines, or rather, beings, to become ethical so that they can produce a positive impact on society. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stella-stephanopoulos/support

People in the mindfulness meditation world often note that what we're teaching is not a breathing exercise; the goal is to just feel the breath as it naturally occurs (if you've chosen the breath as the thing you want to focus on). However -- and this is something we haven't spent much time exploring on the show -- there is a ton of evidence to suggest that actual breathing exercises can also have powerful benefits, physiologically and psychologically. That's one of the things we're going to talk about today with Emma Seppälä, who is a Lecturer at the Yale School of Management and Faculty Director of the Yale School of Management's Women's Leadership Program. She is also the Science Director of Stanford University's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education, and the author of a book called The Happiness Track: How to Apply the Science of Happiness to Accelerate Your Success. As the title of today's episode suggests, we're going to talk about three big takeaways from happiness research. One has to do with breathing exercises. The second has to do with the power of nature to impact your mind. And the third has to do with social connection, something many of us are badly missing in this pandemic.  Full Shownotes: https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/emma-seppala-334

This week on the show the wonderful two times New York Times best seller Meik Wiking joins me once again. It was one of the most popular podcasts of last year on the Danish art of “hygge” which means cosiness so I’m excited to bring you another conversation with Meik. This time we go a bit deeper into happiness research, what the single biggest factors are for a society feeling happy for the most part, and what things like language use, daily actions and government stances on climate and equality do to impact the overall stats - You won’t believe what the biggest predictor of heart disease is in the united states. I am still in shock! Enjoy the conversation and I can’t wait to hear what your aha’s were.

According to a recent article in the Toastmaster magazine written by Lauren Parsons, there is scientific research “suggests that success does not lead to happiness but that the opposite is true. Happiness has a profound effect on brain function and significantly increases individual performance, leading to greater success”. On this episode, we discuss recommendations on how to be happy, and therefore, achieve success, and how to overcome barriers to having more optimistic days in the workplace, and in your personal life.

We tie up all the loose ends from our previous conversations today and discuss the research behind happiness, and how this helps us understand how we can set goals and stick to them. This is a fun way to end our conversation and Heidi and I want to hear from you if you've incorporated anything new in your life by listening to this series.
