Jillian Michaels | Crossover Media Group
About this episode

Gad Saad, Ph.Dis the “de facto global therapist” to an ever-growing audience of hundreds of thousands of people through his game-changing work. In this episode, he shares the nature of happiness and how to achieve it. It’s not a merely a changeable mood but a process toward which we can strive by following some basic steps that have been known to humans for millennia. He outlines his top prescriptions for happiness from his latest book, including:

·       how to live the life you want—not necessarily the life expected of you

·       why resilience is a key to happiness

·       why your career needs to have a higher purpose than a paycheck

·       how variety truly can be the spice of life

·       why marriage is so important

·       how Aristotle had it right when he preached moderation

·       why you should take a hint from your dog and realize that playfulness equals happiness

And so much more!
