If you ever find yourself saying, “I’ll be happy when I get promoted/lose the weight/find my hawt partner (or fill in the blank with your own variation),” today’s episode is for you.
Today I’m joined by the “Happyologist,” Susanna Halonen.
Have a guess what percentage of your happiness is predicted by your circumstances.
I said 50 per cent, and Susanna set me straight (tune in to find out – my jaw dropped!)
Some show highlights include:
- Thinking of happiness as a muscle
- How to build your resilience and intuition
- How Susanna knew her happiness was at stake (and that she couldn’t go through with her wedding)
- What is Finnish ‘Sisu’?
- How to give happiness-inducing hugs (there’s a science to it)
If you’re in need of an inspiring and uplifting conversation today – and want to learn some practices for cultivating more happiness in your life – join us (two Finns & microphone). You might just find the corners of your mouth lifting.
Show time, 27 min.
