I am so glad you could join us. I'm your host Mo Gaudette. This podcast is nothing more than a conversation between two good friends sharing inspiring life stories and perhaps

some nuggets of wisdom along the way.

This is your invitation to slow down with us.

Welcome to Slo-Mop.

This episode is part of the silver lining theme in which I will try to explore

some of the bright side of the COVID-19 crisis with some of my wisest friends.

Today's guest is my dear friend and role model Dr. Tal Vincahar. Tal and I share the passion for using facts and science to explain topics such as happiness and

leadership. We both go anywhere in the world, at least when we were allowed to go

anywhere in the world to spread those positive messages. This is why we keep bumping into each other all over the world.

And every time we do we have a wonderful conversation.

Tal on the other hand is a famous guru on the topic. So he taught two of the largest classes in the history of Harvard University on positive psychology and the psychology of leadership.

Today he lectures in Columbia University, but he also lectures around the world on topics like leadership, happiness, education and mindfulness among many others.

He's the author of 10 books that have been translated into more than 25 languages.

Two of my favorites being The Joy of Leadership and Being Happy.

Definitely recommended as Good reads for everyone.

Tarl is also a senior entrepreneur, so he's the co-founder and the chief learning officer of

Happiness Studies Academy and potential life, which aim to educate us, to teach us on the topic of happiness,

even to the level of an MBA degree in happiness.

I have not heard of that before, so. Thank you so much for being here.

Tell me does happiness actually need an MBA? Is that something that we should make a

prerequisite for our hires going forward.

First of all, thank you, Mo, I'm so glad to be here and we haven't met in a while.
