It's Thanksgiving week, and we know that you are going to need some noise to drown out the other noise that you're going to be hearing all week.

That's why we've got Paula Phelps with a playlist to help us feel more grateful on this episode of Live Happy Now.

The ancient Greeks defined 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 once again. Welcome to the Live Happy Now podcast. I'm your host, J.R. Houston, joined by Paula Phelps, who is joining us live. Well, it's recorded by the time you hear

this, but she is in Nashville, Tennessee, and, well, that's the music city. We bring Paula

into talk music, and we're excited to have you, Paula, and we're also excited about Live Happy magazine,

to which you contribute greatly, am I right? I do try to.

You at least contribute. We can agree on that.

I contribute.

No, it's always great when we get an article from Paula, and you can find those articles in our

print edition of the magazine. They are available on newsstands everywhere.

You can also get the digital edition, which is available in the Apple and the Google

Play Store. And as of earlier this year, we're very grateful for the fact that they're now available

on your phones. So those devices that are constantly in your pocket, they've also got Live

Happy magazine available to you right there on them. So Paula, so much here. We hear a lot about gratitude and thankfulness
