Summary
In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of positive psychology—not just thinking happy thoughts, but the actual science of what makes life worth living! We’re joined by Dr. Liana Lianov, founder of the Global Positive Health Institute, to explore how boosting your happiness, resilience, and sense of purpose can literally improve your health. We also take the five-question test that reveals how satisfied you are with your life—spoiler: one of us crushed it, and one of us… did not. Plus, we break down simple, science-backed ways to bring more joy, gratitude, and meaning into your daily routine (even if you're stressed and busy). If you’ve ever wondered how to thrive—not just survive—this episode is for you!
