Happy Mother's Day! For this special episode, Mosheh sits down with Melissa Garson -- author, life coach, and his mother-in-law- -- for a conversation about happiness, parenting, relationships, and emotional resilience. Melissa opens up about her own childhood, the values she tried to instill in her daughter Alex (Mosheh’s wife), and what it's been like to see Alex become a mother herself.They also discuss her book, Recipe for Real Happiness, in which Melissa draws on her work in positive psychology to share practical tools for building happiness and emotional resilience--including "four simple ingredients" of love, gratitude, learning, and mindfulness. The conversation touches on gratitude journals, communication in marriage and family life, social media’s effect on self-worth, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who leave you feeling better, not worse.They also discuss how meditation can help us “bounce back faster” from life’s challenges — and close the episode with a live, guided meditation you can participate in, in real time.
