Summary

This episode is brought to you by InsideTracker and AquaTru. If you stopped and asked yourself whether you were living life according to your own core values or were instead trying to live up to someone else’s expectations, would you feel good about your answer? Far too often, we get caught up in all the “shoulds” of life—all the obligations and made-up stories of what qualifies as “success”—only to wake up one day and realize we really aren’t happy. Creating the life we want starts with taking the time to go inside, identify our deepest values, and create an intentional path forward. Today, I’m excited to share an empowering conversation between me and my good friend Dr. Rangan Chatterjee. We take a deep dive into how we can live in line with what matters most to us, breaking down limiting narratives, finding true self-love, and so much more. Dr. Chatterjee is regarded as one of the most influential doctors in the UK. A practicing GP for the last two decades, Dr. Chatterjee wants to inspire people to transform their health by making small, sustainable changes to their lifestyles. Dr. Chatterjee is the host of the #1 Apple podcast Feel Better, Live More, and presenter of BBC 1’s Doctor in the House. Dr. Chatterjee is the author of five Sunday Times bestselling books, and his latest book is Happy Mind, Happy Life. In this episode, we dive into: -The power of a morning routine (3:15) -Confusing success for happiness and chasing external validation (12:18) -How your inner voice is affecting your happiness and health (18:10) -Junk happiness habits (24:06) -The big missing piece in health (31:17) -Redefining success and writing your happy ending (42:27) -Social friction and how to reframe it (1:12:11) -How too much choice affects our health (1:34:52) -Dr. Chatterjee’s morning routine (1:56:50) -How happiness affects our health (1:58:29) For more on Dr. Chatterjee, follow him on Instagram @drchatterjee, Facebook @drchatterjee, Twitter @drchatterjeeuk, YouTube @drranganchatterjee, and through his website, drchatterjee.com.

0:00.0	Many people are chasing and striving every day to achieve more, buy more. But I think for many of
0:05.8	us we don't understand that there is a massive difference between success and happiness.
0:12.6	Welcome to the Drew Pro at Podcast. Each week we explore the inner workings of the brain and the
0:17.2	body with one of the brightest minds and wellness, medicine and mindset. This week's guest is my
0:22.4	dear friend Dr. Rungan Chatterjee. Dr. Rungan Chatterjee is regarded as one of the most influential
0:27.4	doctors in the UK. He's a practicing physician now for over two decades and his mission in life
0:33.6	is to help people transform their health through making small, sustainable changes to their

0:43.1	called Happy Mind, Happy Life, the new science of mental well-being. And one of the core themes
0:50.0	as part of Rungan's book is that it's okay to want to be happy. It's okay to seek out happiness.
0:58.3	I think we all know, but we went through a phase over the last couple years where it was kind of
