Summary

This week, I decided to do something a little bit different - instead of me inviting a guest onto my podcast and speaking to them about their ideas and work, I'm releasing a conversation that I had back in February with the wonderful Elizabeth Day on her podcast, How To Fail. Her podcast is about celebrating the things that have not gone right in our life and is centred around the topic of failure and learning from our mistakes.

In this conversation, I share with Elizabeth what I consider to be my three biggest failures in life. We talk about happiness and Elizabeth asks me about my latest book, Happy Mind, Happy Life. We also chat about people-pleasing, authenticity, low self-worth and the harmful consequences of doing things solely for external validation. I also share how I met my wife and why these days, I feel happier and more content than ever before.

This really was a powerful, intimate and revealing conversation. I hope you enjoy listening.

0:00.0	Hi, my name is Rongan Chasji. Welcome to Feel Better Live More.
0:12.9	So this week I decided to do something a little bit different on my show. Instead of me inviting
0:18.7	a guest onto my podcast, speaking to them about their ideas and work, instead I'm releasing
0:24.7	a conversation I had with the wonderful Elizabeth Day on her podcast. Many of you have fed
0:31.0	batsme that you have really been enjoying hearing me speak at length on other people's podcasts
0:36.2	recently, something I'd be doing a lot over the past few months to raise awareness of my
0:40.9	latest book, Happy Minds, Happy Life. And all the way back in February, I was invited onto
0:46.2	a podcast called How to Fail, which is hosted by the author and broadcaster Elizabeth Day.
0:52.2	Now her podcast is about celebrating the things that have not gone right in our life and are
0:57.7	centered around the topic of failure. Now when I spoke to Elizabeth on her show, I shared with her
1:03.6	what I consider to be my three biggest failures in life. We also talked about a range of different
1:10.6	topics, including people pleasing, authenticity, low self worth and the harmful consequences of doing
1:17.8	things solely for external validation. We also spoke about how exactly I met my wife and why
1:24.4	these days I feel happier and more content than ever before. This really was a powerful

1:43.0	this conversation on my own podcast feeds. I hope you enjoy listening. Now before we get started,
1:49.0	just a quick shout out to Athletic Green who are supporting today's show. A good quality nutrition
1:55.0	of course is an essential pillar to get right for our physical health, but also our mental and
2:00.9	emotional health. And in an ideal world, I would much prefer it if everybody got all of their
2:06.3	nutrition from real whole food. But I know from 20 years of seeing patients that a lot of us struggle
2:12.4	to find the time to consistently do that. That is why I am a fan of good quality whole food supplements
