578: How to Be Happy

In this episode, Dr. Kamphoff shares with us the research behind happiness. Did you know that research in the field of positive psychology shows that up to 40% of our happiness can be changed by engaging in daily, intentional activities that impact how we act and think? Also, when we "try" to be happier this elevates our mood. When we are happier, we are more productive, creative, engaged, live longer, and enjoy the relationships with our family and friends more. This week's Power Phrase: "I choose happiness. Happiness is inside of me!"   This week's Quote of the Week: "Happiness is a state of mind. It's just according to the way you look at things."
