at ourselves in the mirror, or at least through the eyes of others on our path to happiness

and self-acceptance on this episode of Live Happy Now.

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.

Hello and greetings. Welcome once again to the Live Happy Now podcast. I and your host, J.R. Houston,

thrilled that you are making us a part of your day wherever you are in the world. However,

you may be listening. We are excited to be back for another season of the podcast, and today

we are releasing two podcasts, and this one deals with our guest on the radio show this past week. We want to remind you about the radio show. If you live in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, you can listen to us on 98.7K-love, Sunday mornings, at 8 o'clock central time. If you live anywhere else in the world, you can also listen to us Sunday mornings

at 8 o'clock Central Time. All you got to do is go to radio.com and search out KLUV. That's

98.7 in Dallas, and you can listen to it on the World Wide Web, which hasn't been called

the World Wide Web in probably 15 years, just showing how with the times I am. We are really excited about our guest today, Dr. Tasha Yurik, who's an organizational psychologist, researcher, and New York Times bestselling author.

The bankable leadership is her book, that's right.

With a PhD in organizational psychology, she's also the founder of the Uruk group, which she's helped

thousands of leaders and teams improve their effectiveness through greater self-awareness.
