What if there's more to happiness and fulfillment than what you've been taught? Speaking about her book The Art of the Interesting, Lorraine Besser questions accepted notions of what constitutes a fulfilling life. She doesn't just explore happiness and meaning; she challenges their dominance, exposing how chasing these ideals can sometimes leave us feeling empty and disillusioned. Lorraine invites us to consider a different path: pursuing a psychologically rich life. This isn't about endless joy or a sense of fulfillment that's always just out of reach. It's about diving into experiences that are novel, complex, and challenging—experiences that make us think deeply and feel intensely. Drawing from her own life and philosophical reflections, Lorraine shows us how to find interest and meaning in the every day, and she offers practical advice on how to weave psychological richness into the fabric of our lives. This is more than just a conversation; it's an important call to rethink what it means to live fully. Listen and Learn:  Challenging the traditional notions of happiness and meaning as the sole keys to a fulfilling life  Why the pursuit of constant happiness is unrealistic and how understanding the limits of pleasure can lead to a more fulfilling and realistic approach to a good life. The elusive nature of fulfillment and why achieving your dreams often leads to unexpected feelings of emptiness The historical evolution of the concept of individual purpose The roles of philosophers and psychologists in exploring happiness The concept of "the interesting" as the third pillar to a fulfilling life How embracing unexpected moments of curiosity and novelty can subtly enrich your life Distinguishing "Mindfulness 2.0" from traditional mindfulness  How embracing "psychologically rich moments" can turn your everyday struggles and mundane tasks into powerful opportunities for personal growth and deeper insight Finding "psychologically rich moments" to help you engage with and grow from challenging situations in life  How being open and honest in your friendships can transform your connections The biggest misconception about achieving a psychologically rich life  Resources:  The Art of the Interesting: What We Miss in Our Pursuit of the Good Life and How to Cultivate It https://www.instagram.com/lorbesser/?hl=en https://lorrainebesser.com/ https://twitter.com/LorraineBesser https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/lorraine-besser-ph-d/the-art-of-the-interesting/9781538743201/ About Lorraine Besser Lorraine Besser, PhD, is a professor of philosophy at Middlebury College, who specializes in the philosophy and psychology of the good life and teaches popular courses for undergraduates on happiness, well-being, and ethics.

To bring together, draw together, or toward oneself.Last year, around this time, I traveled to Cape Cod to retreat with the women from the mastermind group I shared about two weeks ago.

Many of us talk about wanting to be happy. But we're actually looking for joy. A leader's job is not to come up with the best ideas, but to create an environment where people come up with the best ideas. And there's no better way to achieve that than creating joy for your people. Unfortunately, this is the one thing most leaders overlook when trying to build productive teams. In this video, Sabrina talks about joy and how leaders can use it to motivate and energize their people. She also shares why happiness is a critical factor in employee engagement and the telltale signs your people are unhappy. Key Quotes: “The biggest mistake CEOs make with employee wellbeing is they don't know whether their people are actually happy or not.” “A leader's job is not to come up with the best ideas, but to create an environment where people are having their best ideas.” “Joy is something that you can feel with your body. It feels like warmth in your belly and warmth in your heart space.” “Many of us talk about wanting to be happy. We're actually looking for joy.” “When you create more joy, your productivity changes, your creativity changes, and your tolerance for challenging things changes.” “Joy is contagious. When an organization is drilled deep in the joy and the excitement of doing the work, then people also feel really connected to the vision.” "People don't leave their company. They leave their manager” What You'll Learn: (00:00) Introduction (00:43) What is Joy?

In this video, host Angela Brown talks with professional organizer Nicole Gabai about her concept of "Back to One" for keeping a tidy home. Back to One refers to the practice of resetting each room in your house to its ideal organized state at the end of every day. The goal is that by dedicating just 15 minutes per room per day to tidy and declutter, you can maintain an orderly living space with minimal effort. Back to One works by establishing what your ideal vision is for each room when it's clean and clutter-free. This looks different for every home and family. For a kid's bedroom, it may mean toys put away, bed made, and surfaces cleared. For a home office, it could be a cleared desk, files sorted, and wastebasket emptied. Nicole Gabai emphasizes that Back to One is unique for each space. Embark on a journey to transform your home by implementing daily Back-to-One tasks, so you can enjoy an organized space without too much effort.

If you've been listening to the show for some time, you probably already know my stance on live launches. I am not generally a fan of only live launching your offer. As I teach my Accelerator members, you can do live launches, but you should also be offering your program on an evergreen basis. Offering only live launches is stressful. There are so many moving parts and it can easily get overwhelming. If you're tired of being on this live launch roller coaster, you're in the right place. In this episode of Art of Online Business, I sat down with TaVona Denise to talk about how you can go from having stressful, unfocussed launches to having fun and profitable launches. TaVona Denise helps coaches and online service providers redesign their businesses so they can have the lifestyle and impact they started the business for.  A former physical therapist, master-certified life coach, and trauma-informed business consultant, TaVona uses her diverse background to help entrepreneurs launch and grow their businesses with integrity and ease so they can bring in their favorite clients without suffering from burnout or hating the process.  TaVona is the author of Unstoppable Success: How to Finally Create the Body, Business and Lifestyle You Want and the voice behind the podcasts, Breaking Protocol, and Coaching & Conversations. When she is not handling business, you can find her singing karaoke or enjoying the white sands and beautiful blue waters of Mexico which she currently calls home.In this episode, you'll learn:Why you should look at launches like a partyCreating a launch that matches your energyWhy there's more than one way to launchThe importance of experimenting and evaluating The internal work you need to do with a launchWhy we subconsciously sabotage ourselvesWhat's working right now in terms of launchingLinks & Resources:The Art of Online Business websiteDM me on InstagramVisit my YouTube channelThe Art of Online Business clips on YouTubeFull episodes of The Art of Online Business Podcast on YouTubeThe Art of Online Business Podcast websiteCheck out my Accelerator coaching program*Disclosure: I only recommend products I use and love and all opinions expressed here are my own.

I heard from many listeners that they really needed to hear that. I'm expanding on CEO responsibilities today and taking you through some high-level questions you should be thinking about and sharing a list of responsibilities that you should focus on as the CEO of your business.In this episode, you'll learn:The importance of CEO timeHigh-level questions you need to ask yourself as CEOThe responsibilities you have to be in charge ofThe importance of creating relationships Your role in managing your teamCreating your company cultureHow you are the “what” and the “why” personLinks & Resources:The Art of Online Business websiteDM me on InstagramVisit my YouTube channelThe Art of Online Business clips on YouTubeFull episodes of The Art of Online Business Podcast on YouTubeThe Art of Online Business Podcast websiteCheck out my Accelerator coaching program*Disclosure: I only recommend products I use and love and all opinions expressed here are my own.
