Podcast appearances and mentions of Sonja Lyubomirsky

This month is going over probably my favorite happiness activity that comes out of The How of Happiness by Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky  and that's nurturing social relationships. I personally am an extravert and love being connected with people. However, I have found this harder to do as I've gotten older.  We all get busy with our lives and time can seem to fly by. I'll notice it has been months since I chatted with a friend. Prepping this episode has prompted me to reach out to several people, as I mention in the episode. I hope it also prompts you to reach out to a friend or loved one you haven't connected with in a while. It's likely to boost your, and their, happiness. In this episode, we dive into:Why connection is a biological and emotional necessityHow small expressions of gratitude can transform your marriage or partnershipThe surprising truth about happy couples and the 5:1 ratioHow to shift your mindset when a loved one disappoints youThe Four Horsemen of unhappy relationships—and how to avoid themWays to celebrate good news with others and deepen connectionIf you're looking to feel more supported, loved, and joyful in your everyday life, this episode offers practical strategies backed by research—and delivered with compassion.Books Mentioned:The How of Happiness by Sonja LyubomirskyThe Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by Dr. John GottmanPlease subscribe and leave a review on your favorite Podcasting platform.

We live happier, healthier, and longer lives when we feel deeply connected to other people. And while we might experience and express this need in different ways, the need for social connection is really universal. It's so fundamental that we have built-in biological mechanisms to encourage it. When we're socially isolated, our brain triggers cravings for human contact, in much the same way that it triggers cravings for food after a few hours of not eating. So, we literally crave connection. And that's why so many of us felt starved for connection during the pandemic. The problem is that in everyday life, many of us simply ignore the craving or we deny it. We treat socializing like an indulgence rather than an essential health behavior, and we fail to prioritize it. We recognize the importance of sleep, exercise, and healthy eating, and we take steps to maintain them. But going out with friends, going to Happy Hour, Trivia Night, these things often take a backseat. Somehow, they feel less important when in reality,

The holidays can be tough—loneliness, stress, and unmet expectations often steal the spotlight. But what if we focused on virtues like courage, kindness, and faith instead? Research from Sonja Lyubomirsky shows that small acts of kindness, self-compassion, and trusting the process of growth can help us rediscover joy. This season, let's shift the goal from “perfect” to meaningful.  Remember: it's not about escaping discomfort but embracing it with grace. Show up as you are, give what you can, and trust in life's unfolding. You've got this.  #mindfulness #Reflection #Virtues #Courage #Kindness #Faith

La pandemia del coronavirus nos obligó a cambiar nuestra forma de relacionarnos con los demás. Para evitar el contagio, se nos recomendó quedarnos en casa y limitar el contacto social. Pero ¿cómo podemos ser felices sin la interacción humana, que es tan importante para nuestro bienestar? ¿Cómo podemos mantener el vínculo con nuestros familiares, amigos y colegas, aunque no podamos verlos ni abrazarlos? En este episodio, Dayanara Torres nos ayuda a encontrar las respuestas a estas preguntas. Para ello, habla con el profesor Jamil Zaki, de la Universidad de Stanford, experto en psicología social y emocional. Él nos explica cómo la pandemia afectó nuestra capacidad de empatizar y conectar con los demás, y qué podemos hacer para fortalecer nuestras relaciones a distancia. También nos da algunos consejos prácticos para usar la tecnología de forma inteligente y creativa, y para aprovechar las oportunidades que nos brinda esta situación para cultivar la gratitud, la compasión y la solidaridad.

¿Qué te hace feliz? ¿Qué te motiva a cambiar tus hábitos y mejorar tu vida? Muchas veces pensamos que la felicidad depende de lograr nuestros objetivos, de tener éxito, de ser reconocidos. Pero la ciencia nos dice que hay un factor mucho más importante y poderoso: la gratitud. La gratitud es el sentimiento de aprecio y reconocimiento por lo que tenemos y por lo que recibimos de los demás; nos hace sentir más felices, más conectados, más generosos y más resilientes. También nos ayuda a crear una relación positiva con nuestro futuro yo, es decir, con la persona que queremos ser mañana. En este episodio, Dayanara Torres nos invita a descubrir los beneficios de la gratitud y cómo podemos cultivarla en nuestro día a día. Para ello, conversa con el profesor David DeSteno, de la Universidad Northeastern, autor del libro Éxito emocional: el poder de la gratitud, la compasión y el orgullo. Él nos explica cómo la gratitud influye en nuestro comportamiento, en nuestra salud y en nuestro bienestar. También nos da algunos consejos prácticos para expresar nuestra gratitud a los demás y a nosotros mismos. No te pierdas este episodio y aprende cómo la gratitud puede transformar tu vida.

¿Te has propuesto algún propósito para el nuevo año? ¿Quieres hacer ejercicio, comer más sano, leer más libros o aprender un idioma? Si es así, no estás solo. Muchas personas aprovechan los nuevos comienzos, como el inicio de un año, una estación o una década para plantearse metas y cambiar sus hábitos. Pero ¿Por qué nos gustan tanto los nuevos comienzos? ¿Cómo podemos mantener nuestra motivación y perseverancia a lo largo del tiempo? En este episodio, Dayanara Torres conversa con Katy Milkman, experta en ciencias del comportamiento, que ha estudiado los efectos psicológicos de los nuevos comienzos. Ella nos explica cómo estos momentos nos dan la sensación de tener una nueva oportunidad, una nueva identidad y un nuevo impulso para mejorar nuestra vida. También nos da algunos consejos prácticos para crear y mantener hábitos saludables, basados en la evidencia científica. No te pierdas este episodio y descubre cómo puedes aprovechar el poder de los nuevos comienzos para lograr tus propósitos.

¿Qué harías si pudieras predecir el futuro? ¿Te enfocarías solo en las cosas buenas que te esperan o también te prepararías para los posibles obstáculos y dificultades? Muchas personas creen que el ‘pensamiento positivo' es la clave para lograr sus metas, pero la ciencia sugiere que hay una estrategia más efectiva. Esta técnica consiste en imaginar el resultado deseado y luego contrastarlo con los desafíos y obstáculos que podrían impedirlo. De esta manera, se activa la motivación y la planificación necesarias para superar los problemas y alcanzar el éxito. En este episodio, Dayanara Torres nos explica cómo el nadador profesional, Michael Phelps, tuvo que imaginar los peores escenarios para convertirse en el deportista olímpico más exitoso de la historia. También nos enseña cómo podemos aplicar esta técnica en nuestra vida cotidiana, para cumplir nuestros sueños.

It's no secret we love practising gratitude. We love this twist from researcher Sonja Lyubomirsky, author of the book The Now of Happiness. Give it a go if you're having a tough time.

¿Te has preguntado alguna vez si tienes demasiadas opciones?

¿Te gusta compartir tus momentos felices con otras personas? Seguro que sí, pero ¿Sabes cómo hacerlo de la mejor manera? Resulta que compartir nuestras experiencias positivas con los demás, puede aumentar o disminuir nuestro placer, dependiendo de cómo lo hagamos. En este episodio, Dayanara Torres nos da algunos consejos para compartir bien y disfrutar más de las cosas buenas de la vida. Aprenderás cómo elegir a la persona adecuada, el momento oportuno y el tono apropiado para contar tus alegrías.

¿Sabías que la risa es el lenguaje universal de la felicidad? Cuando reímos no solo expresamos nuestra alegría, sino que también la compartimos con los demás. La risa tiene el poder de contagiar las emociones positivas y mejorar el estado de ánimo de quienes nos rodean. Pero, no todas las risas son iguales. ¿Qué diferencia hay entre una risa genuina y una risa fingida? ¿Cómo influyen las risas enlatadas que escuchamos en los programas de televisión en nuestra percepción del humor? Para responder a estas preguntas, Dayanara Torres cuenta con la ayuda de un invitado muy especial: Ben Glenn, el experto mundial en risas enlatadas para televisión, que nos revelará los secretos de este arte sonoro. Acompáñanos en este episodio y descubre cómo puedes usar la risa como una herramienta para crear más felicidad en tu vida, y en la de los demás.

¿Qué tienen en común las personas que arriesgan su vida por salvar a un extraño, que donan sus órganos a alguien que nunca han conocido o que dedican su tiempo y recursos a causas humanitarias? Estas personas son lo que se conoce como superaltruistas, el extremo opuesto de los psicópatas. El superaltruismo es la disposición a hacer el bien a los demás, incluso cuando ello implica un costo personal, un sacrificio o un riesgo. Los superaltruistas no solo son admirables, sino también más felices que el promedio. Dayana Torres conversa con la profesora de Psicología, Abigail Marsh, quien sabe muy bien lo que significa el superaltruismo, pues su vida fue salvada por uno de ellos cuando era adolescente. Desde entonces, se ha dedicado a estudiar las bases neurológicas, genéticas y sociales de este fenómeno, y a explorar cómo podemos fomentar una actitud más altruista en nosotros mismos y en la sociedad. 

El primer episodio de la temporada está cargado de sorpresas. Tú puedes ser alguien más feliz hoy mismo. Tus circunstancias de vida y tu personalidad no son tan importantes como crees a la hora de decidir qué tan feliz puedes ser. En este episodio, Dayanara Torres te explicará cómo entender la última ciencia de la felicidad, te guiará en la dirección correcta y te hará sentir más satisfecho con tu vida. ¿Estás listo para sentirte mejor?

La felicidad humana es un misterio que ha fascinado a filósofos, científicos y artistas desde tiempos inmemoriales. ¿Qué nos hace felices? ¿Depende de las circunstancias externas o de nuestra actitud interna? ¿Es posible ser feliz ante la adversidad o infeliz ante la fortuna? En este episodio, Dayanara Torres conversa con el Dr. Dan Gilbert, experto en psicología de la felicidad, sobre cómo nuestro cerebro crea y modifica nuestras emociones en función de nuestras expectativas, creencias y experiencias.Descubriremos que la felicidad no es algo que nos sucede, sino algo que nosotros hacemos.

Eudaimonia, virtues, and the work of Sonja Lyubomirsky all point to the idea that true well-being and happiness are achieved through living a life characterized by meaningful action, personal growth, and the development of positive character traits. Lyubomirsky's research provides empirical support for the idea that living virtuously—by engaging in practices that cultivate gratitude, kindness, and meaningful social connections—can lead to a form of happiness that is deep and lasting. This aligns with the philosophical understanding of eudaimonia as a state of flourishing that results from living a life of virtue.

In this episode, we're talking about making memories and savoring them, inspired by Eric's memorable night at a Guns N' Roses concert. But it wasn't just the killer 3-hour set from Slash, Axel and the guys that caught our attention for this episode — it was the charging stations, keeping phones alive and ready to capture every moment. We acknowledged the genius minds who've tapped into our need to stay charged up. But it's more than just taking a photo or a video; it's about freezing moments in time. We dug into why we may snap pics—it's more than just collecting memories; it's about reminding us of our 'why' and reliving those unforgettable moments in our lives. Switch-it-up Steps: Stay Powered: At your next event, keep an eye out for those charging spots. Could you be the brain behind one of these inventions? Snap & Save: Live the moment, but also snap it. Think about the story behind each photo. Who was with you? How was the crowd? Relive the Beat: Every so often, scroll through your pics. Whether it's a life lesson or that insane concert, let the memories flood back. Further learning mentioned: Go check out "The How of Happiness" by Sonja Lyubomirsky. It's a scientific look into happiness and ties in with our talk about the power of savoring the memories — the photos, the videos and more. Follow Eric Here Follow Oscar Here

Do you know HOW to be happy? We all have an idea of what being happy means, but did you know there is a LOT of research on the topic of happiness. A woman named Sonja Lyubomirsky wrote a book called The How of Happiness in which she lists “how” to create and increase your happiness. I thought this list of 12 “Hows” of happiness fit right in with creating an overall healthy lifestyle for bariatric patients… well, for all people, actually. In this episode, I talk about the first 6 of the ways you can increase your happiness and specifically how to apply each to these items to your daily post-op life! Let's get started so YOU can begin to increase YOUR happiness!  Resources:BariAfterare: www.bariaftercare.comBook: The How of Happiness by Sonja LyubomirskyBook: A Philospher's Notes: On Optimal Living, Creating an Authentically Awesome Life, and Other Such GoodnessConnie Stapleton PhD website: www.conniestapletonphd.comBariAftercare website: https://www.conniestapletonphd.com/bariaftercareBariAftercare Facebook page (for members only): https://www.facebook.com/groups/BariAftercareInstagram: @therealbariboss (Tabitha Johnson)Instagram @drsusanmitchell (Dr. Susan Mitchell)Instgram: @lauraleepreston (Laura Preston)Instagram: @chefhealthyhenry (Henry Baker)Instagram: @cale101 (Caleshia Haynes)Instagram: @myweightishistory (Rob Dimedio)Please subscribe to the show and rate it on Apple Podcasts, download free information at www.conniestapletonphd.com, and follow me on Twitter (@cstapletonphd), Instagram (@cstapletonphd), YouTube, LinkedIn, and on Facebook.

Welcome to the rollercoaster ride that is the inaugural episode of WTS Presents: All the Feelings, where we're tackling the big, scary, exhilarating, and occasionally refrigerator-filled world of change. Today we're serving up a cocktail of emotion, with a dash of humor, a sprinkle of sarcasm, and a generous dose of poetry.First, we dive into the treacherous waters of domain names, where one wrong move can have you sharing an acronym with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms — talk about an unexpected change! We then wade through the murky depths of metathesiophobia, a fear of change that's as tricky to navigate as the word is to pronounce. Tommy opens up about his personal journey of moving apartments in Los Angeles, a tale that involves an Indiana Jones fridge, a soundtrack of weekly car crashes, and a superintendent who's a little too fond of mold. But fear not, this tale of change has a happy ending, complete with a new home, a life-changing freedom from metal plates, and the four-legged love of Tommy's life, Foster. Who knew change could be so…furry?From there, we set sail on a historical journey that takes us from the days when travel was all about the destination, to the birth of the SS Norway — the ship that flipped the cruise industry on its head. This rusty old relic transformed into a floating city, sparking a revolution that forever changed our perspective of big boats. It's safe to say that journeying across the ocean has never been the same.Pete's fascinated by the Hedonic Treadmill. No, it's not the latest fitness frenzy, but a psychological concept that explains why we always return to a baseline level of happiness. It's like we're all hamsters in a wheel, constantly running but never really getting anywhere. We debunk some common myths about happiness. According to Sonja Lyubomirsky, a renowned psychology professor, tying your happiness to specific events — like getting married or striking it rich — won't make you permanently happy. Finally, we offer a sonnet by Rainer Maria Rilke, who reminds us to embrace change, even if it feels like we're shattering into pieces.So there you have it, folks! Change can be scary, exciting, and sometimes it even comes with a free fridge. But hey, if we can survive this episode, we can survive anything.Links & NotesThe Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and FirearmsShare your Feelings! Send us a note here!

The root cause of all rare-air productive, financial, personal and global success?...your psychology.If you're not thinking like the dominant star of your industry, your performance will never rise to match that expectation.If you're not thinking you can get your massive dreams done, your behavior will never be sufficient to get giant goals done.If you're not thinking like someone who's the rockstar of their field, financially free, healthy as an athlete and happier than you could ever imagine, then there's no way you'll get there.Why? Because your outcomes always reflect your self-identity [a.k.a. your psychology].Researchers like Sonja Lyubomirsky have done some fascinating work on "the power of the self-fulfilling prophecy". Definitely read her book The How of Happiness this week.Bottom line: the hardcore psychologists confirm that your psychology and expectations for your performance determine your results.You absolutely have to learn to think like the very best do to experience the rewards and lifestyle that the VERY best have.If you're seeking some strong inspiration to grow your business and self—along with some novel tools to win—go ahead and read (or listen to) my latest book The Everyday Hero Manifesto.

Even though the media praised New York governor Andrew Cuomo for an "amazing job,” accounting for age, his state ended up with more deaths than "irresponsible" Florida. Meanwhile, some countries, like Australia, imposed brutal lockdowns. My producer crunched the numbers at MaximumTruth.Substack.com and found that lockdowns DID save some lives. But they weren't worth it. The video above explains why.   https://youtu.be/QExJbWWwXDc The Jones Act Makes Shipping More Expensive John Stossel 810K subscribers 212,803 views Feb 28, 2023 American shipbuilders have a disgusting monopoly. I confront a shipping lobbyist who uses government to ban competition. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— The Jones Act, a stupid law with a stupid name, restricts domestic shipping to vessels built in America and crewed by Americans. That hurts consumers. It really hurts suffering people who need supplies after natural disasters. Unions and big shipping companies love this dumb law because it protects them from competition. “Your rules really hurt people,” I say to a lobbyist. "They don't,” she replies. "What the Jones Act does is ensure reliable, dedicated service." Give me a break.   https://youtu.be/Xp-PdF3MmuE Classified—Government's Dirty Secret John Stossel 810K subscribers 165,740 views.

The media call it a national security crisis. Bunk. The truth is, the word classified usually means very little. Government classifies three things every second. “A lot of top secrets are nothing of the kind,” historian Matthew Connelly tells us. Many classified “secrets” are nonsense or embarrassing proof of government incompetence. I'll show you why the problem is much bigger than Presidents taking classified documents home.   https://youtu.be/GZmVLpfunzE  The Scaremongers Are Wrong John Stossel 810K subscribers 583,731 views Jan 24, 2023 Have you heard? The world is about to end! No…it isn't. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— Throughout history, people predicted the end of humanity. Recently, 60 Minutes featured doomsayer Paul Ehrlich. They treated him like an expert, even though his dire prophecies have repeatedly been proven utterly wrong. Instead of interviewing people like Ehrlich, 60 minutes should talk to Marian Tupy, the creator of humanprogress.org. “If you sell the apocalypse, people feel like you are deep and that you care,” Tupy tells me. "But if you are selling rational optimism....” Rational optimism is right. Scaremongers like 60 Minutes are wrong.   https://youtu.be/NLkfpjJoNkA Even Greenpeace Says “Most Plastic Simply Cannot Be Recycled.” John Stossel 810K subscribers 668,796 views Jan 17, 2023 For decades we've been told recycling helps the Earth. It really doesn't. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— Recycling is a “sacrament of the green religion,” says Science Writer John Tierney. He once debunked recycling claims in an infamous New York Times column “Recycling is Garbage.” “It's even more true today,” Tierney tells me. Greenpeace now says plastic recycling is a “dead-end street.” Often it's also a costly scam.   https://youtu.be/9Zi1cLJyBoQ Not Your Father's Comic Books John Stossel 810K subscribers 130,719 views Dec 20, 2022 Comic book creator Eric July says American comics now lose to Japanese companies because they're overrun by "advocates of social justice.” He's right. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— Superman's son, and Batman's sidekick Robin, are now bisexual. A new version of Spiderman is a lesbian in a wheelchair. Iron Man is a teenage Black girl. "So what?” you may ask. “Isn't more diversity good?" Changing established characters, says July, was “obviously something that was done for political gain,” and that's why Marvel and DC have lost market share. But Marvel and DC don't seem to mind. They still create woke nonsense, like characters named “Snowflake” and “Safespace.” Really. July sees an opportunity. He just released his first comic, with plans for more.   https://youtu.be/sghEEvOWfmQ Classic Stossel: Fake Farmers John Stossel 810K subscribers 678,414 views Mar 10, 2023 Lawyers, and others who have never farmed in their lives, got rich off of taxpayer money – all through a lawsuit against the USDA that was supposed to compensate black farmers for past discrimination. One black farmer tells me, lawyers said "if you had a potted plant… you're a farmer. And if you have a yard and you fertilize it, you're a farmer." That's why 90,000 people got money from the government -- even though the USDA and the Black Farmers' Association say there were only 18,000 black farmers in the country.

I pushed back: "I'm an introvert. I don't WANT to socialize." "Okay, we actually did a study where we asked both introverts and extroverts for one week to act more extroverted," she responded. Her study found just socializing “a little more” made people happier. What other things make people happy?

But Mike Pompeo, a possible candidate for president, surprised me. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— Pompeo used to be CIA Director and Secretary of State. I wanted to talk to him because he might run for president. I confronted him about Republican hypocrisy on spending. I pushed him on whether he'd cut entitlements. Would he abolish the Department of Education? His answers were not what I expected.   https://youtu.be/dYdk9gSp2Kw Maj Toure--Black Guns Matter John Stossel 810K subscribers 297,326 views Dec 6, 2022 Maj Toure, founder of "Black Guns Matter," wants to arm more people in America. “Criminals should be deathly afraid,” he tells me. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— We know about "Black Lives Matter." But there's another group called "Black Guns Matter," started by Maj Toure. Toure carries a gun with him everywhere he goes, and he encourages others to do the same. His group trains people, especially black communities, how to safely use firearms. Why black communities? “Gun control is racist,” he tells me. Toure says, correctly, gun control began to "stop black people from having the means to defend themselves."     https://youtu.be/s4XcbM6nkBs This Thanksgiving, Say Thank You to "Private Property” John Stossel 810K subscribers 154,929 views Nov 22, 2022 #subscribe Did you know that the pilgrims almost starved after they arrived at Plymouth Rock? That's because they were forced to farm "collectively." The corporation that funded the expedition said, "grow food together. Divide the harvest equally." -------- Don't miss a single video from Stossel TV. Sign up here: www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe-form --------- This is a terrible idea. It creates what economists call the "tragedy of the commons." When you share property and the results of your work, people farm until the land is barren, don't work as hard, or steal food from others. Young people from Students For Liberty take part in an experiment to demonstrate this "tragedy of the commons." It shows the solution is private property, which is what saved the pilgrims. Governor William Bradford finally decided to "assign each family a parcel of land." Once the pilgrims had property rights, they became much more productive and brought in huge harvests -- which they were then able to share with the Indians. So this Thanksgiving feast, don't forget to say "thanks, private property!"   https://youtu.be/n0jIV3cIw74 Classic Stossel: What's Great About America--Starting a Business John Stossel 810K subscribers 60,921 views Nov 25, 2022 One of the things that's great about America is its entrepreneurial spirit. America is a good place to do business. ———— To make sure you see the new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— More than almost any other nation, America both encourages and rewards creativity, risk-taking, and the entrepreneurial spirit. In this video, I start my own “Stossel Store." The business is something of a failure, which is also part of what's great about America: you can try here and fail and still try again.

Good news!  We have some control over our happiness, and we know how to boost it. Listen in today as we discuss the definition of happiness and what scientists think about how much DNA matters. This is one of my biggest takeaways from writing 668 daily happiness podcast episodes. Tune in to learn more.      Transcript:   Welcome to Everyday Happiness, I'm your host Katie Jefcoat, and as we close out this podcast, we invite you to join our happy mail email community, where you'll continue to get happiness and kindness content delivered straight to your inbox.  We think it's the happiest email in your inbox. You can join at www.katiejefcoat.com    Today, I share one of my biggest takeaways from writing 668 daily happiness podcasts.  It's the definition of happiness and where we can get the biggest impact for our effort to boost our happiness.    So many of us think we'll be happy when we work hard and achieve success.  But the fact is, that will never work. Our brains are designed to move the goalpost to the next thing. If fulfilled happiness is on the other side of achievement, we've already lost because we will never get there.     Now, you get the job promotion, and you feel happy - for a moment.  But soon, your big job promotion is just your job.  That fancy new car, the new car smell has worn off, and it's just your car.  Scientists call this the hedonic treadmill, always trying to achieve the next best thing.     Most scientists agree that happiness is really a two-pronged definition.  The first prong is happiness in emotions. The second prong is satisfaction and purpose. You need both prongs to be fulfilled to achieve well-rounded happiness.   Emotions, such as joy, contentment, love, and other positive feelings like peace, gratitude, satisfaction, pleasure, inspiration, hope, curiosity, and love, fall into this first prong. In her 2007 book The How of Happiness, Sonja Lyubomirsky describes happiness as "the experience of joy, contentment, or positive well-being, combined with a sense that one's life is good, meaningful, and worthwhile."  These emotions stem from the positive experiences we have in life. The second prong has two parts.  Purpose and satisfaction.    Purpose is how you feel when you are doing the thing you love. This can be academic research, your work, building a business, being involved in the community, being a parent, and more.   Arthur Brooks says that long-lasting happiness comes from human connection and productive work. He found in his scientific research that it was overwhelmingly clear that a “productive human endeavor creates a sense of purpose in life.”   Satisfaction is appreciating what you have more than pining for what you want. Many of us think we will be more satisfied, happier even, if we get more of what we want. However, the scientific theory of hedonic adaptation tells us that we get comfortable with what we have, and we always want more. Satisfaction is elusive and doesn't last with that mentality; it's like running on a treadmill and never getting to the destination. So, it's basically impossible to "get more" and be happier long term. This is why the gurus tell you that gratitude is so important to achieve happiness.  It is bringing you back to the here and now.     Satisfaction is not a function of what you have; it's actually an equation of what you HAVE and what you WANT. Think of it like a fraction: the top is what you have, and the bottom is what you want.  So you want to appreciate what you have more than pine for what you want. This all seems easy enough, but I was curious, how much is actually in our control?    Arthur Brooks says that happiness is 50% genetic, 25% circumstantial, and 25% in your control.     Sojyna Lyubomirsky has similar findings.  Although it's never a neat and tidy pie chart, experts agree that we humans have some control over our happiness and it's not all left up to DNA or chance.  The researchers from the 2005 Lyubomirsky paper later said that “Happiness can be successfully pursued, but it is not ‘easy,'” In other words, happiness for many people will simply be something that is hard won. For others, happiness may feel like a natural state.   The insight is simple, and it's good news.  This means that happiness is deeper than our emotions and we have some control over our happiness.  The bonus is that we know how to enhance our happiness through simple tiny habits like savoring, gratitude, kindness and so much more.    Remember, kindness is contagious, go out there and spread some kindness today.  Life is heavy enough; we shouldn't have to search for happiness.  Get the exclusive happiness email, delivered with a smile twice a month to your inbox. https://www.katiejefcoat.com/email    And, let's connect on social at @everydayhappinesswithkatie  and join the community on the hashtags #IntentionalMargins and #everydayhappinesswithkatie on Instagram   Links:  https://onamission.bio/everydayhappiness/   Inspiration from:  https://arthurbrooks.com/art-of-happiness/ 2005 paper https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/how_much_of_your_happiness_is_under_your_control

When was the last time that you took pride is something that was brand new to you? Perhaps it was a new vehicle, house, watch or piece of furniture.    Chances are, over time, the pride that you once took in that new object probably began to fade away.   The reason for this is because of something called hedonic adaptation.   It turns out that when good things happen in our lives, we have a spike in our appreciation for those good things. Eventually, we return to our baseline and essentially, become a little bit greedy for more or to experience that same good feeling once again.   In today's episode, Coach Ashlie Walton and Detective Walton break down ways to combat this and how to use Sonja Lyubomirsky's research on Happiness in order to dive deeper into gratitude.   Check out The How of Happiness: A Scientific Approach to Getting The Life You Want to learn more.   ⩥ PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL ⩤ https://bi3xbvVont.ly/   CLICK HERE for our best-selling products: https://amzn.to/3xaG3xw and https://rdbl.co/3DIQVUC   CLICK HERE to join our free Police, Fire, Military and Families Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/38w2e7r   Check out our website and learn more about how you can work with LEO Warriors by going to: https://www.leowarriors.com/   Like what you hear?

Tia interviews Sonja Lyubomirsky, distinguished positive psychology professor at the University of California, author, and speaker.

Have you ever been the type of person to say something like, ‘I don't care what other people think of me?'   Science tells us that we are hardwired to want acceptance. When you think back to the primal days of hunting and gathering, we needed to show our contributions in order to be accepted in our tribe and this is ultimately how we survived.   In her book The How of Happiness by Sonja Lyubomirsky, a study was done by her team on a group of grade-school students. She had one half of the group perform random acts of kindness each week for six weeks. They took the other half and did nothing with them; they were the control group.   By the end of the study, the kids who did something nice for other people were not only happier than the control group…They were also more ‘popular' than they were in the beginning.     Tune in as Coach Ashlie Walton and Detective Walton discuss the importance of identifying ways that you can be accepted by your current tribe and why it's so important to your overall happiness.   ⩥ PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL ⩤ https://bi3xbvVont.ly/   CLICK HERE for our best-selling products: https://amzn.to/3xaG3xw and https://rdbl.co/3DIQVUC   CLICK HERE to join our free Police, Fire, Military and Families Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/38w2e7r   Check out our website and learn more about how you can work with LEO Warriors by going to: https://www.leowarriors.com/   Like what you hear?

The video above explains why.   https://youtu.be/9Zi1cLJyBoQ Not Your Father's Comic Books John Stossel 769K subscribers 107,658 views Dec 20, 2022 Comic book creator Eric July says American comics now lose to Japanese companies because they're overrun by "advocates of social justice.” He's right. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— Superman's son, and Batman's sidekick Robin, are now bisexual. A new version of Spiderman is a lesbian in a wheelchair. Iron Man is a teenage Black girl. "So what?” you may ask. “Isn't more diversity good?" Changing established characters, says July, was “obviously something that was done for political gain,” and that's why Marvel and DC have lost market share. But Marvel and DC don't seem to mind. They still create woke nonsense, like characters named “Snowflake” and “Safespace.” Really. July sees an opportunity. He just released his first comic, with plans for more.   https://youtu.be/iQiLrm1VoMQ The Science of Happiness John Stossel 769K subscribers 98,941 views Dec 13, 2022 People are often born happy, or unhappy, due to wiring in our brains -- but fortunately, there are things that ALL of us can do to become happier. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— "Socializing is hugely associated with being happy," psychology professor Sonja Lyubomirsky told me. I pushed back: "I'm an introvert. I don't WANT to socialize." "Okay, we actually did a study where we asked both introverts and extroverts for one week to act more extroverted," she responded. Her study found just socializing “a little more” made people happier. What other things make people happy? That's in the video above.   https://youtu.be/dYdk9gSp2Kw Maj Toure--Black Guns Matter John Stossel 769K subscribers 245,797 views Dec 6, 2022 Maj Toure, founder of "Black Guns Matter," wants to arm more people in America. “Criminals should be deathly afraid,” he tells me. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— We know about "Black Lives Matter." But there's another group called "Black Guns Matter," started by Maj Toure. Toure carries a gun with him everywhere he goes, and he encourages others to do the same. His group trains people, especially black communities, how to safely use firearms. Why black communities? “Gun control is racist,” he tells me. Toure says, correctly, gun control began to "stop black people from having the means to defend themselves."   Dennis Prager Podcasts  Jan 10 2023   Dennis makes the case for supporting Ukraine… Callers largely disagree.

It's a must-read that every person, religious and non-religious, should buy and peruse every night before bed. It'll make you think harder, pray more ardently, and understand your civilization better." — Ben Shapiro, host of "The Ben Shapiro Show" "Dennis Prager's commentary on Exodus will rank among the greatest modern Torah commentaries. That is how important I think it is. And I am clearly not alone... It might well be on its way to becoming the most widely read Torah commentary of our time—and by non-Jews as well as by Jews." — Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, bestselling author of Jewish Literacy Why do so many people think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is outdated? Why do our friends and neighbors – and sometimes we ourselves – dismiss the Bible as irrelevant, irrational, immoral, or all of these things? This explanation of the Book of Exodus, the second book of the Bible, will demonstrate that the Bible is not only powerfully relevant to today's issues, but completely consistent with rational thought. Do you think the Bible permitted the trans-Atlantic slave trade? You won't after reading this book. Do you struggle to love your parents? If you do, you need this book. Do you doubt the existence of God because belief in God is “irrational?” This book will give you reason after reason to rethink your doubts. The title of this commentary is, “The Rational Bible” because its approach is entirely reason-based. The reader is never asked to accept anything on faith alone. As Prager says, “If something I write does not make rational sense, I have not done my job.” The Rational Bible is the fruit of Dennis Prager's forty years of teaching the Bible to people of every faith, and no faith. On virtually every page, you will discover how the text relates to the contemporary world and to your life. His goal: to change your mind – and then change your life.   Highly Recommended by ACU.

Did you know the bittersweet moments in life can improve your happiness? Learn more so you can balance these moments to bring yourself greater joy.    Transcript:   Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in about 2 minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life.   I'm your host Katie Jefcoat, and today I want to talk about savoring the bittersweet moments of life. Why, you ask? Well, the other day, I was looking at my kiddo and thinking about the time I had left with them. Yes, I still have years to go before they spread their wings and embark on their next chapter of life, but that time is ever shrinking.   It got me thinking about Sonja Lyubomirsky's “How of Happiness” book, where she talked about appreciating the bittersweet moments of life as a form of happiness practice. In this section, she described an experiment where researchers challenged college seniors who were nearing the end of the academic year to write about their college experiences.   In one group, the researchers pushed the students to think about their writing with the idea that they only had 1200 hours left in school, a short, limited amount of time. With the control group, they pushed that they still had 1/10 of the school year left. While still the same time frame, it feels longer, as though they still have plenty of time left.   With these two different frames of mind, it was found, unsurprisingly, that the group whose mindset was bittersweet, only 1200 hours left, found greater happiness. This study showed that these seniors had a greater appreciation for their college years and were compelled to savor the time that was left.   As the phrase goes, “all good things must come to an end.” Now, this doesn't mean we should be weepy about changing events or chapters of life coming to a close. Instead, it means that we should appreciate and enjoy the fleeting moments of life.   This can be as simple as taking a moment to savor the sounds of nature during a particularly pleasant walk. On the other hand, in my particular case, it can be taking the time to spend a few extra moments with the kids, whether that means a mom-and-me date, a couch chat, or just a good hug.   I love twirling my little guy's curly hair, when he lets me.  And I'll never forget during the pandemic lockdown how my daughter and I binge watched Gilmore Girls together. And as a family, we love game night and I'm enjoying that more when I'm in the savoring mindset.    And remember, Kindness is Contagious. A great way to enjoy the passing moments in life is to perform a random act of kindness for someone. Whether it is sending your mom an “I love you” text, putting a kindness card in the mail for a friend on the other side of the country, or buying a coffee for a new friend, I encourage you to go out into the world and be kind to someone today.   Get Everyday Happiness delivered to your inbox by subscribing at: https://www.katiejefcoat.com/happiness   And, let's connect on social at @everydayhappinesswithkatie  and join the community on the hashtags #IntentionalMargins and #everydayhappinesswithkatie on Instagram   Links:  https://onamission.bio/everydayhappiness/
