In this episode, I introduce multiple definitions of happiness and share my own perspective on what keeps us going every day. You will learn about routines that make you live a longer (and happier life) and how to be grateful in life. I share my personal experience on happiness among multiple pillars such as friendship, money, activities, learning and changes and you will hear some stories from around the world. Happiness is not the reward for an activity but an activity itself and you will find out how to find the right activities for yourself. You will learn about how talking to strangers can make you happy and how to keep a positive mindset and stay excited - even without a lot of money. Sharing happiness with other people makes most of us happier than isolation and we can surround ourselves with people that lift us up and encourage us. By putting your focus on what is already there and what is in your control, you can actively shape your life towards more happiness.
