Summer Encore: Rewiring Your Brain for Happiness with Ashish Kothari

With many of us on a well-deserved summer break, I am sharing once more one of my favorite episodes of the last 12 months. A while back, we spoke with Ashish Kothari about how our biology sometimes hardwires us for unhappiness. Bringing awareness to this helps us understand how to move beyond our biology and live with more joy, love, and meaning. Happy listening & enjoy the summer of 2024! Warmly, Elisa *** Why is it that, no matter how far we climb in our careers, so many of us struggle to find happiness? Why are stress, anxiety, and burnout so prevalent in our working lives? It turns out… we may have our brains to blame. Today we sit down with Ashish Kothari, founder and CEO of Happiness Squad and author of the bestselling new book "Hardwired for Happiness." We discuss the biology of fear, the science of happiness, and how Ashish's inspiring personal journey led him to seek out answers for some of life's most vexing questions. Ashish also shares some large-scale strategies and simple, everyday practices that can help us move beyond our biology, and live with more joy, love, and meaning.
