46: When You Want To Be Happier - Dr. Gillian Mandich

Jan 20, 2020

Happiness. It seems to be the thing everyone is chasing after but is left constantly yearning for. It doesn’t help that we’re in the dog days of winter here in Canada where the winter blues are alive and well, people are experiencing S.A.D (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and still recovering from the hit their bank accounts took during the holidays.

Here to help us find a little pep in our step and cultivate more happiness in our lives is Happiness Expert, Researcher and Speaker, Dr. Gillian Mandich. Gillian teaches about health, wellness and happiness on a variety of platforms from university classrooms, TV, radio, podcasts, magazines, and is the regular Happiness Expert on the Marilyn Denis show and The Social. 

In this episode we discuss:

• What happiness *really* is 
• How the pursuit of happiness could be hurting us
• Happiness: is it a choice, worked for or innate?
• The tools to help cultivate happiness
• The importance of experiencing an array of emotions 
• Why sadness is not a “bad” emotion
• How to find what makes you truly happy 
• Why NOT to put off being happy
