Summary
In this episode I’m talking to Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar, bestselling author and lecturer, about positive psychology and happiness. He famously taught two of the largest classes in Harvard’s history, Positive Psychology and The Psychology of Leadership, and Today, Tal consults and lectures around the world to executives in multi-national corporations, the general public, and at-risk populations. The topics he lectures on include leadership, happiness, education, innovation, ethics, self-esteem, resilience, goal setting, and mindfulness. His books have been translated into more than twenty-five languages and have appeared on best-sellers lists around the world. Tal is a serial entrepreneur and is most recently the co-founder and chief learning officer of Happiness Studies Academy.
In this episode we discuss how our concept of happiness differs from what truly makes us happy; temporary happiness vs. sustained happiness; how to experience more happiness in life, even during challenging times; why failure and resistance is so important; the arrival fallacy; how to actually choose happiness; how to manage negative self talk; the physical benefits of happiness and so much more.
