Dr. Emma Seppälä on How Happiness Can Accelerate Your Success - The Psychology Podcast, Scott Barry Kaufmann

Dr. Emma Seppälä on How Happiness Can Accelerate Your Success

“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.” — Maya Angelou

Dr. Emma Seppälä is a true friend of the show and we’re thrilled to speak with her about her new book, The Happiness Track. In this episode, we provide data-driven insight into how our overextension is hindering our success, and how cultivating happiness can actually drive our achievement. The research shows that we needn’t be chronically over-scheduled and over-caffeinated to achieve our goals. Pursuing things like meaningful relationships, gratitude and self-compassion can actually be more conducive to success. We cover some fascinating studies and offer practical thoughts on enhancing well-being and innovation. We think you’ll really enjoy the dialogue.
