From Theory to Practice: How to Increase Your Well-Being Every Day, Part Two

Creating Wealth

Welcome back to our March series on well-being, inspired by Yale’s renowned Science of Well-Being course by Professor Laurie Santos. In our last episode, we debunked common myths about happiness and explored how our brains sometimes lead us astray in our pursuit of joy. In Part Two, we’re making it practical by delving into research-backed strategies that can boost your happiness and well-being.

We unpack the concept of “rewirements” and discuss how small, intentional habits like practicing kindness, savoring positive moments, and daily gratitude can counteract hedonic adaptation. We’ll explore the power of resetting your reference points, the benefits of meditation, and offer actionable tips to seamlessly integrate these happiness habits into your everyday life.

Whether you’re seeking an abundance mindset or looking for practical ways to enhance your personal well-being, this episode is packed with insights to help you cultivate lasting happiness. Tune in now to discover the one key takeaway that could transform your approach to living a better life!
