Join our hosts for Monday's show where we will be discussing: ‘Climate Crisis' and 'True Happiness: what can we learn from our elders?' Climate Crisis Climate change is no longer a distant concern, with rising temperatures, extreme weather and environmental damage affecting communities across the world. But as human activity continues to impact the planet, are we creating the very crisis we are struggling to overcome? Join us as we explore the causes and consequences of the climate crisis, the responsibility we have towards protecting our environment and how Islamic teachings encourage stewardship, balance and care for the Earth. True Happiness: what can we learn from our elders? Why do people often become happier as they get older, even as health and energy decline? Join us as we look at research suggesting that later-life happiness is linked to changing priorities, emotional balance and a clearer sense of what matters. What can younger generations take from this shift in perspective — and how does it connect with Islamic ideas of gratitude, patience and focusing the heart on what truly lasts? Guests: Noel McDermott: Psychotherapist and dramatherapist with over 30 years' work within the health, social care, education, and criminal justice fields. Professor Gong : lecturer in the department of Psychology at The Chinese University of Hong Kong Charles Anyaegbunam: Working at Vortex blade - developing blade less wind turbine. Salma Snober Hayat: Mum of four, and I've been serving as Nazima of the Environmental Management Team at Jalsa Salana UK since 2017. Producers: Ayesha Tahir, Tahmina Tahir, Nadia Shamas and Prevish Huma
Renovatio Movie Retreat: Ego's Ultimate Trick: Linear Time Join David Hoffmeister for an illuminating session recorded live on Day 2 of the Renovatio retreat in Duchesne, Utah. Set against the mind-bending backdrop of a time-travel series, David delves into the ego's ultimate trick: linear time.

By Carl Kasperson - Let's highlight the book of Ecclesiastes and provide some biblical context to the pursuit of happiness. Following that, we will cover what really brings true happiness.

Opening Session of the Renovatio Movie Retreat Welcome to the opening session of the Renovatio Movie Retreat, recorded live from the peaceful sanctuary of the Living Miracles Monastery! In this intimate introductory gathering with David Hoffmeister, Jason Warwick, Marina Colombo, and Kirsten Buxton, we dive into a vibrant state of mind centered entirely on deep forgiveness and the radical renewal of the mind (Renovatio). True rebirth requires us to step back and let the Holy Spirit interpret the "script" of our lives. Rather than getting tangled in the ego's complex plot twists and personal dramas, we can use the movie screen of our daily encounters to peer behind the curtain, gently surrender our grievances to the light, and experience a joyful, magic carpet ride of transcendence. Relax, leave the world behind, and join us in this ongoing celebration of love and light!

When we invest our money, we understand the magic of compounding interest—how a small daily deposit, left alone over decades, transforms into staggering wealth. Yet, we rarely apply this same mathematical principle to our emotional well-being. We expect one meditation session or one good day to fix all our anxiety. In this episode, we are going to explore the compounding interest of peace, and discover how tiny, consistent habits of mindfulness multiply over time to create a reservoir of inner resilience that no external crisis can shake." New Episode of the Happiness Podcast with Dr. Robert Puff, Ph.D., Newport Beach Psychologist
Episode 1148 What happens when you achieve everything you thought would make you happy... and it still doesn't feel like enough? In this episode, Tim Matthews and Lawrence Davis unpack a challenge that many successful men quietly face. From the outside, life looks great. The business is growing. The money is there. The family is thriving. Yet underneath it all, there's a feeling that something is missing. They explore why so many high-achieving men struggle to enjoy the success they've worked so hard to create, how the constant pursuit of "more" can leave you feeling empty, and why fulfillment doesn't automatically come with achievement. The conversation dives into the hidden stories that drive ambitious men, the pressure to keep pushing, and the fear that slowing down might mean losing your edge. Tim and Lawrence also share practical ways to reconnect with what actually matters, celebrate progress instead of constantly chasing the next goal, and redefine success on your own terms. Because real success isn't just about what you've built. It's about being able to enjoy it. If you've ever felt like you're winning on paper but still feeling unfulfilled, this episode will challenge the way you think about achievement, happiness, and what it truly means to live a successful life. If you're successful on the outside but struggling with connection, fulfillment, or purpose in your relationship, get access to The Powerful Man's free training. You'll learn the hidden patterns that create distance in your marriage and discover practical steps to rebuild trust, intimacy, and connection.

Miracles Collapse Time After David presented the documentary about a poor boy who became a successful entrepreneur, it sparked profound questions among the participants in the online “The Way” session. While it's easy to accept the script when everything goes according to plan, how do we handle situations that seem to have negative outcomes? David addressed this by emphasizing that the problem lies in our judgment of situations, not in any specific worldly circumstance, regardless of whether people perceive them as positive or negative. As Jesus taught us in ACIM, everything happens for the greater good, without exception. When we judge something negatively, it may seem like God wants us to suffer, but this couldn't be further from the truth. God's will for us is perfect happiness, which can only be achieved when we have forgiven the past, forgiven the present, and forgiven the future. Miracles can help us transcend the limitations of time. Other participants inquired about how to navigate this world of illusions while fulfilling their personal needs. David explained that our belief in reciprocity creates the illusion that giving and receiving are opposite actions. In reality, they are the same because we are all interconnected, loved and protected as an idea in the mind of God. These gatherings took place during the first three weekends of April 2026 and featured teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.

Sad Boys For Real! Chicago super producer, Gold Haze, slides to PVTSTCK to discuss his journey from "Your Pain is Mine" to "When I had Nothing, I had Everything." Gold Haze reflects on the relationships he walked away from, past versions of himself he let go of, and leaning on God in times where he didn't have the answers. In the song, "When You Had Nothing," Gold Haze says, “Every season built a purpose / God'll show you if it's worth it / sometimes the pain resurface just to show you what your worth is." Gold Haze reflects on the times where he couldn't understand the reason behind certain things happening. We search for answers until we realize that God is doing it for a reason. Our path is unique to us, and each lesson was already written. Also discussed: car accident that rerouted life, realizing he had everything he ever wanted, and the significance of each chapter in book.

Community as a Symbol of Joining In Strawberry Field Fiesta's second session at La Casa de Milagros, recorded in the morning of Day 2, David Hoffmeister is joined by ministers and beloved companions to explore a profound theme: Community as a Symbol of Joining. Rather than an earthly arrangement or a physical dwelling, true community is recognized as a living demonstration of love, collaboration, and shared purpose. It is a holy classroom where fixed beliefs about personal identity and isolation melt away through open dialogue, presence, and pure reflection. This session is filled with music, featuring live performances by Emily and Erik. The gathering concludes with a showcase of newly composed spiritual EDM tracks.

In this episode of the Revitalize Womanhood podcast - To the Core, I dive into how comparison quietly steals our joy, confidence, and peace. So many of us fall into the trap of measuring our worth against others—on social media, in motherhood, in our careers, or in midlife—without realizing how much it disconnects us from who we truly are. I share why comparison is often not about jealousy, but about disconnection from our authentic self, and how real, lasting confidence is built when we align with our core values, purpose, and truth. I also walk you through practical ways to recognize your comparison triggers, protect your energy, and stay grounded in your own lane. If you've ever felt like you're not doing enough or not where you "should" be, this episode is your reminder: your journey is yours for a reason, and you don't need to measure it against anyone else's.

Episode 1136 In this revisit episode, Tim sits down with Mark and Derek fresh off the Alpha Rising experience to talk about something a lot of men struggle with but rarely admit: trying to carry the responsibility for everyone else's happiness. As husbands, fathers, business owners, and leaders, many men fall into the trap of thinking it's their job to keep everyone happy all the time. But over time, that pressure becomes exhausting. It creates stress, people pleasing, resentment, and a slow disconnect from yourself. This conversation dives into what happens when men stop trying to fix everyone around them and start taking ownership of their own growth instead. Tim, Mark, and Derek unpack the deeper layers of personal development, emotional responsibility, leadership, and the difference between helping people versus rescuing them. They also talk about why growth isn't a one-time breakthrough, but an ongoing process of peeling back layers, building awareness, and learning how to show up differently in everyday life. If you've been carrying the weight of everyone else's emotions, constantly trying to keep the peace, or losing yourself in the process of taking care of everyone around you, this episode will hit home.

The Gift of Being Clueless It's easy to get stuck in our own heads, thinking we know who we are, which can actually keep us from seeing our true selves. That's the big takeaway from the amazing movie session we had last weekend as part of the “The Way” series. David's story, about an obituary agency owner who goes bankrupt, really hit home. He showed us that not knowing what to expect can be a blessing, even if it feels like a curse to those going through it. When the main character lost his obituary agency, he started to question who he was, what he was supposed to do, and what his purpose in life was. Interestingly, that “clueless” feeling is actually the best way to embrace what Jesus has been telling us for over 2,000 years: that we are the Son of God. The movie session also gave David a chance to talk about ownership, the idea that things are scarce, the search for love in idols, and how all that needs to be forgiven. The real issue is judgment, which is why Jesus said that nothing you see really matters in the very first lesson of the ACIM workbook. We weren't made to judge. While we think we know which situations are good or bad, we'll keep trying to get the ego's approval. Why rely on that when God has already made us worthy? These gatherings take place during the first three weekends in April 2026 and include teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.

beatitude: BLESSEDNESS (how to be blessed)BLESSED (Makarios) = FAVORED by God; divine happinessBlessed means HAPPINESS in spite of my CIRCUMSTANCES.Matthew 5:3-10 Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.These blessed statements REVEAL where TRUE HAPPINESS is found.Matthew 5:3 NLT God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.Matthew 5:3 GWT Blessed are those who recognize they are spiritually helpless. The kingdom of heaven belongs to them. Matthew 5:3 CEV God blesses those people who depend only on him. They belong to the kingdom of heaven!Poor in spirit means accepting our spiritual BANKRUPTCY and complete DEPENDENCE on Jesus' forgiveness and grace.WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE POOR IN SPIRIT? 1. I admit that no amount of MATERIAL WEALTH will satisfy my soul.The MORE we have, the LESS we may think we need God. The LESS we have, the EASIER it can be to acknowledge our need for God.Matthew 19:23-24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”2. I admit that no amount of SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS will make me right with God.Matthew 7:22-23 MSG I can see it now—at the Final Judgment thousands strutting up to me and saying, ‘Master, we preached the Message, we bashed the demons, our super-spiritual projects had everyone talking.' And do you know what I am going to say? ‘You missed the boat. GOOD people don't go to heaven, FORGIVEN people do.Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.3. I admit that I am SPIRITUALLY BANKRUPT, and only JESUS can pay for my sins and make me whole.
"Guided by Spirit: Undoing Judgment Through Trust” In this second movie session from The Way, David uses an inspiring documentary to show how intuition and guidance can lead to a miraculous undoing of judgment. The story of a young boy born in precarious conditions who went on to become a wealthy entrepreneur goes way beyond what the Ego would label as success. His guided path towards that is the demonstration of how the Holy Spirit acts. In a world where the truth is concealed by veils we call reality, we need help to release the illusions that keep us trapped. That help comes through trust. This entrepreneur first trusted his mentor, a man who had connections with the mafia. David warned that, although he also frequently used "purple words" – as a former president of the United States classified his swearing – that was also a veil hiding a precious heart. Judgment is the error. Eventually, guidance led this man to completely change his personal plans. After repeatedly saying he would never marry or move to California, he ended up in Beverly Hills with his wife and kids. That shows how important flexibility is for those willing to accept the Atonement. The fact that he changed so many lives along his way confirms that salvation is not a personal task. It is collective, with mighty companions that the Holy Spirit connects us with all along the way.

“Stepping Out of the Maze of Time through Giving” In this session, David uses a mini-movie to explore the mental traps of the past and the liberating realization that we can never truly "fix" what never happened. Using the metaphor of a man traveling back into the 1960s to prevent a tragedy, David provides a deep commentary on how the ego uses "do-overs" to keep us tethered to linear time. The discussion illuminates how the past is a relentless force that resists change, yet it shows that the only way to truly escape the maze of "what if" is through the present-moment practice of giving and forgiveness. As David navigates through this gripping story of a time-traveling English teacher, we are invited to see that attempting to alter the dream only tightens its grip, while accepting the Holy Spirit's interpretation of the present sets us free.

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear In this session from the sixth The Way of the Mystic revival weekend, David Hoffmeister explores the theme "Perfect love casts out fear: Shower the people you love with love." David uses this week's movie to illustrate the journey from a colorless, controlled existence to the vibrant reality of spiritual awakening. The discussion centers on a realm where "Sameness" has eradicated pain at the cost of deep emotion and true connection. David highlights how the ego's attempt to create a safe, predictable world by suppressing memories only serves to maintain spiritual slumber. David explores the necessity of reintegrating the "colors" of life—the feelings we feel—to truly understand the nature of love and wake up to truth. David guides us to realize that perfect love is a state of being reached when we allow the Giver - the Holy Spirit - to guide our every thought. Recognizing our true function is to hold the vision of the Kingdom of Christ, we find that the willingness to feel all emotions is the first step toward welcoming peace of mind and remembering God. These gatherings take place every weekend in February and March 2026 and include teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.

In this episode we continue a daily devotion through Psalm 119, exploring what it truly means to be happy. The speaker contrasts fleeting worldly pleasures with the deep, overflowing joy that comes from a right relationship with God, drawing on Scripture including John and the Beatitudes. Practical takeaways include coming to God with humility, hungering and thirsting for righteousness, and allowing God's Word to guide your life. The psalmist shows that lasting happiness flows from fellowship with Christ; the next episode will examine how God's Word should rule three areas of life.
The Way of the Mystic Online Revival Weekend 5 - Saturday Movie Session with David Hoffmeister During this Saturday morning movie gathering, part of the The Way of the Mystic weekend revival titled "Radical acceptance of the guidance: Leave the world behind", David helps the listeners shift the focus of the mind toward recognizing the mental "hypnosis" of the world and the necessity of coming into a deep agreement with oneself to follow the light of truth. In his commentary, David centers on the realization that there is no useful choice in the world of space and time other than the consistent alignment with the Holy Spirit. By looking at the world as a complex projection designed to keep the mind distracted, we can begin to see that our only true investment should be in present guidance. Using the metaphor of a mind trapped in a series of deceptive layers, David highlights how we must learn to see through the "hypnotic" suggestions of the ego. Instead of trying to fix or choose between different aspects of the dream, we are invited to accept a state of radical trust where the script is already written, and our only role is to accept the peace that comes with that recognition. Through this lens, the session explores how important it is to learn the lesson that “only truth is true”: by giving special relationships and personal desires to the Holy Spirit, we forgive the illusions of the ego's worthless gifts, allowing the mind to be led back to the awareness of true Identity as Christ. These gatherings take place every weekend in February and March 2026 and include teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.

"A Pure Heart and an Open Mind" - A 'The Way of the Mystic Weekend Online Revival' Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister In this deep and humorous 'The Way of the Mystic' session from February 14, 2026, David Hoffmeister explores the ego's intricate web of "special relationships" through a comedic lens. Using the metaphor of a high school transformation and the awkward quest for romantic validation, the discussion dismantles the hierarchy of love that the world teaches. Key Themes of the Session: The Illusion of Specialness: David examines how the ego uses categories like "best friend," "partner," and the dreaded "friend zone" to maintain a sense of separation and lack. Humor as a Healing Tool: The session highlights the necessity of laughter in undoing the ego's seriousness, reminding us that we simply "forgot to laugh" at the tiny, mad idea of being separate from God. From Scarcity to Abundance: By looking at our desperate attempts to find love in form, we begin to recognize our inherent worthiness and the consistent, unconditional love of the Christ within. "God did not create bodies, and the problem of judgment is the belief that bodies are real. On Valentine's Day, we celebrate the release from these concepts into the pure light of Agapé love." These gatherings take place every weekend in February and March 2026 and include teachings, films, music, panel discussions, and live Q&A sessions with David Hoffmeister.

Healing Is a Collaborative Endeavour In this "Mission Accomplished" Saturday morning movie session, David Hoffmeister uses a mini-movie to illuminate a radical spiritual breakthrough: the realization that our innocence is already complete. The narrative, condensed from multiple action films, serves as a powerful metaphor for the ego's complex plots and the Holy Spirit's swift undoing of them. David focuses on two pivotal metaphysical themes: The Illusion of Time and Control: Drawing on A Course in Miracles Lesson 158, David explains that "time is a trick, a sleight of hand." He emphasizes that the ego uses the past and future to distract us from the Holy Instant, where our safety lies. By letting go of the need to control the "script" of our lives, we discover that the mission of salvation is already accomplished through the Atonement. Transcending the Ego's Distractions: The session explores how the mind is often fooled into believing it is a separate, physical entity at the mercy of external circumstances. David invites us to "peer behind the curtain" and see that all conflict—whether a nuclear threat on screen or a personal grievance—is merely a projection of a split mind. Through his commentary, David guides listeners to hear the gentle whisper of Jesus saying, "Mission Accomplished," allowing us to surrender our worries and judgments in favor of the happiness that is our natural inheritance.

Inside Strategic Coach: Connecting Entrepreneurs With What Really Matters
Happiness can be tricky for entrepreneurs, especially when the outside world thinks you've already “made it.” In this episode, Dan Sullivan shares a simple daily framework for staying genuinely happy as an entrepreneur, regardless of what's happening in your business, your relationships, or the larger world around you.Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:Why an entrepreneur's happiness depends on three simple ingredients.How to measure your daily achievement in a way that actually feels like progress.What excites Dan most about creating and sharing a brand-new thinking tool.Why your greatest value shows up when you spend your time doing activities you genuinely love. Show Notes: Entrepreneurial happiness comes from a way of being that you practice every day, not a goal or a destination. The first ingredient for a happy entrepreneurial life is making real daily progress, not just occasional big wins. Measuring yourself against an ideal future is like measuring your distance to the horizon line—you never feel any closer. You feel genuinely successful when you measure progress against where you started and what you've actually achieved. A simple end-of-day reflection on what you accomplished turns an ordinary day into a tangible gain you can build on tomorrow. The second ingredient for a happy entrepreneur is liking who you are, which means appreciating how you handle setbacks, not pretending you've never made mistakes.When you give yourself grace for past decisions, it becomes much easier to extend that same grace to other people. Even if you don't achieve your goal, you can be pleased with how you went about things. Being truly useful to other people each day is the third ingredient that makes entrepreneurial happiness feel complete.Strategic Coach® is built on hundreds of thinking tools that help entrepreneurs reframe situations and recognize the progress they're actually making. These three ingredients—progress, self-liking, and usefulness—keep you grounded in the present instead of trapped in past regrets or future fantasies. Of the three, liking who you are carries special weight because without self-respect, progress and usefulness don't feel satisfying.It's hard to feel useful doing work you're not good at or don't enjoy, so designing your role around your Unique Ability® is crucial for happiness. Greater self-awareness helps you like yourself more because you understand which situations you handle well and which ones you should avoid or delegate. Dan describes happiness as living in “local reality”—what's real, available, and actionable right now, instead of chasing someone else's reality.Viewing each day through this three-part lens is a practical way to keep your entrepreneurial confidence high, no matter what challenges arise. Resources: The Gap And The Gain by Dan Sullivan with Dr. Benjamin Hardy Shannon Waller's Team Success podcast Unique Ability® The Positive Focus®

True Happiness Is Found in God The Gospel of the Beatitudes presents a vision of happiness that overturns ordinary human expectations. While the world associates blessedness with wealth, power, and security, Jesus proclaims the blessed as those who are poor in spirit, meek, merciful, pure of heart, and persecuted for righteousness. Drawing from Greek and Hebrew traditions, the Homily explains that “blessed” no longer means being untouched by suffering, but rather living with a heart oriented toward God. Blessed Means . . . A divided heart seeks happiness in wealth, power, pleasure, and fame, yet remains restless and unfulfilled. In contrast, a pure or undivided heart finds its fulfillment in God alone. From this God-centered heart flows mercy, justice, and love for others. True happiness, the Homily informs us, is not found in worldly achievements but in meditating on and living according to the law of the Lord, allowing God to be the sole treasure of the heart. Listen to this Meditation Media. True Happiness Is Found in God ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gospel Reading: Matthew 5: 1-12 First Reading: Zephaniah 2: 3; 3:12-13 Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 1: 26-31 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Art Work Snowbow: QoAHs Digital Team: 2026 Taken near Rochester, NY ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why was this image selected: Have you ever just stopped and looked at the world and appreciate the beauty within it … the beauty God has made within this world? The QoAH digital team recently experienced a special nature moment viewing a Snowbow. Ok, is there really such a word? The answer is yes! It happens when the rising sun shines off snow crystals in the air. The above image shows the rising sun on the right and snow crystals revealing an orange and red stream of color. The vertical bands of color are straight up and down, unlike the normal arc curve of a typical rainbow. There was another upward band to the right of the sun … off camera. Just an amazingly beautiful view of nature… Happiness Found in God!

“Answering Your Inner Calling” In this transformative bilingual movie gathering 'Answering Your Inner Calling', David Hoffmeister opens with a radical invitation: let the movie do the spiritual "legwork" for you. David explores the profound teaching that "The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand"—not as a metaphor, but as a literal truth that shatters the illusion of linear time. Drawing from A Course in Miracles Lesson 158, David breaks down the concept that "time is a trick, a sleight of hand," and explains why we cannot bring the truth into our illusions. Instead, we must bring our illusions—our goals, our history, and our beliefs—to the light of truth. Join us for this deep dive into non-duality, where we learn to look past the "fireworks" of the ego and embrace the eternal present.

In this episode, Philippe Brouillard talks about how You’re Not Broken. Philippe is the founder of VitaQuantum, a bilingual speaker, bestselling co-author of Rethinking Happiness, and a PhD candidate in the Quantum Science of Health, Prosperity, and Happiness. His unique method, the Quantum S.O.U.R.C.E. Formula™, blends quantum physics, neuroscience, and emotional transformation to help people shift from fragmentation to clarity, both energetically and behaviorally. His story is compelling: from national mogul ski champion and co-founder of a 7-figure health clinic… to complete burnout and spiritual disconnection. That collapse led him to deeply explore consciousness, embodiment, and science, eventually creating a method that’s now transforming lives across the world, especially for high-performers and spiritual skeptics.

The world says, “Follow your heart.” But Jesus says, “Deny yourself.” In this episode, we're sharing the next step to sainthood: self denial. Listen as Keith and Patrick challenge the modern idea that happiness comes from chasing your desires, citing where Jesus taught the opposite: real joy comes from denying yourself and following him. The two explore why self-denial isn't restrictive; it's freeing. You'll learn how self-focus (whether through pride or shame) keeps you trapped, how secular studies have also proven that self-denial leads to greater happiness, and how to practice the discipline of surrender in everyday life. We hope this episode leaves you asking: Am I self-serving or serving God?
Arthur Brooks once overheard a famous elderly man on a plane confess to his wife that, despite wealth, health, and great success, he felt his life was meaningless. This moment sparked Arthur's curiosity about why some high achievers succeed yet struggle with happiness, loneliness, and declining fulfillment as they age. Determined to understand this, he set out to decode the psychology of lasting happiness. In this episode, Arthur shares how to design a truly happy, meaningful, and successful life and sustain it well into old age. In this episode, Hala and Arthur will discuss: (00:00) Introduction (02:33) The Quest to Understand Happiness (08:15) Exploring Fluid vs. Crystallized Intelligence (16:40) Navigating Career Paths: Linear vs. Spiral (20:29) Breaking the ‘Striver's Curse' Through Life Design (28:49) The Three Components of True Happiness (35:51) Why Strong Relationships Drive Happiness (40:12) Balancing Career Mindset and Relationships (43:27) Practical Tips and Tools for a Happier Life Arthur Brooks is a Harvard professor, bestselling author, and international keynote speaker. Formerly the president of the American Enterprise Institute, he writes the popular How to Build a Life column for The Atlantic and hosts the podcast How to Build a Happy Life. His number-one New York Times bestseller From Strength to Strength, teaches high achievers how to find deeper purpose and joy beyond external success.
