303: Why Focus on Happiness Now? With Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar
Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar is back! Tal was involved in the positive psychology movement from the get-go and taught two of the largest classes at Harvard. In the positive psychology world, he’s an absolute ROCKSTAR. He’s also a best-selling author, leadership consultant, parent, husband, and a fellow member of the ADHD squad. Interviewing Tal again was even an item on my “20 for 2020” list! #SayItToCreateIt
We discussed:
His family’s abrupt move from a 50th story apartment to the suburbs of New Jersey
How he literally makes his ADHD work for him and how that impacts how he helps others
What mantra to embrace to get through these unprecedented times
Why think about happiness when there are record numbers of anxiety and depression
What to keep in mind when raising kids who exercise some of their creativity through social media
How to talk back to your inner critic
What’s being called “Resilience 2.0”
How and why he started the Happiness Studies Academy and how you can become part of it
