#79 Tal Ben Shahar - Happiness as the engine and destination for new paradigms

In this episode we have the great honor of talking with Professor Tal Ben Shahar. He shares his ideas on many topics: from the need of a more interdisciplinary scholarship, to corporate wellness. From Happiness as the basis for success, to Responsibility as the basis for co-creating new paradigms. Stories are the building blocks of our social DNA and our psychology: they are the best, if not the only, way to interpret, connect and collaborate as a local/global community. Businesses are a tremendous force as shapers of reality and the name of the game is changing for corporations. Doing well in terms of monetary profit is just a byproduct of doing good to all stakeholders: employees, clients, planet and community. Tal Ben-Shahar is world renowned teacher and author in the fields of happiness and leadership. After graduating from Harvard in Philosophy, Psychology and Organizational Behavior, he taught the most popular course in Harvard’s history. His books have appeared on best-sellers lists around the world and have been translated into more than 30 languages.
