Welcome to the Power Hour. I'm Adrienne Herbert, wellness coach, international speaker and author.

Each week I speak to a variety of guests from business founders to Olympic athletes, leading coaches, change makers and innovators to find out their daily habits, their rules to live by and what motivates them to

get up out of bed each day. Personally, I am on a mission to encourage, motivate and inspire,

so I hope that the Power Hour will help you to achieve your personal and professional goals.

Welcome back to the Power Hour podcast. Today I am joined by leading psychiatrist,

TEDx speaker and international bestselling author Dr. Anders Hansen. Today we're going to be discussing

some of the reasons that even though today we are living longer and healthier lives than ever before,

we are not necessarily living happier lives.

We're going to talk about the connection between happiness,

overall well-being, mental health and motivation.

And we're also going to get into a topic that I know a lot of people are struggling with at

the moment, and that is how to find

focus. Our ability to focus, our energy, our mental well-being, they're all being impacted

in similar ways by the modern world. But what can we do about it? Well, let's find out. Welcome to

the podcast, Anders. How are you? Fine. Happy to be to be here well thanks for joining us as I said

there are so many I think connections between our overall well-being our energy our daily energy

our motivation our happiness and our ability to to focus on the things that we want to do and the things

we want to achieve so I think first up the word happiness I want to do and the things we want to achieve. So I think first up,

the word happiness, I want to talk about this. I think it's something that everybody wants.

Everybody would say they want to feel happy. They want to experience happiness. But it can

seem intangible or unsustainable. So my first question for you, as someone who's written an

entire book about this, is how do you define happiness?
