We are geeking out over the new issue of Live Happy magazine.

This week, Live Happy CEO and editorial director, Debra Heist, joins us on this episode of the Live Happy Now podcast.

The ancient Greeks define happiness as the joy you feel moving towards your potential.

To think about positive psychology, it's a science, and it's actually younger than the

internet, believe it or not.

The reality is that social connection is in the research, the greatest predictor we have

of long-term happiness.

You have some factors in your control.

They can promote the health and resilience and growth of your absolutely most important asset, which is your brain. And so it all comes down to understanding ourselves. There's a way for all of us to succeed, but it might take different things. We're all looking for the same thing, and that's a way to bring a little bit more joy to our day.

Join us as we look at the many different paths that lead us to that happy place.

This is Live Happy Now.

Well, it's exciting to have someone who is very rarely available in the studio. And ironically, Deborah Heiss, our CEO and All Everything, editorial director, is actually able to be in the studio, and I am not.

So I'm recording remotely because I'm headed to a different country today.

But Deborah actually makes it into the studio.

But it's exciting to have you on the program.

How have you been?

It's been forever.

I know it's been forever.

And, you know, there's nothing I love more than doing the podcast for Live Happy,

so I'm going to make an effort to get on the podcast a little more over the next few months.

But it's exciting to be back on it.

I really miss this part of it.
