In today's episode of Psych Talk I chat with Dr. Ashley Smith, licensed psychologist, speaker, and author about the science of happiness. Dr. Ashley starts the discussion by discussing how she got interested in the science of happiness and positive psychology in general. Dr. Ashely defines for listeners what happiness is and discusses the science of happiness and what research say about factors that influence a person's happiness. We discuss how can individuals find happiness in their life, even when circumstances seem hopeless or challenging and how facing adversity impacts our happiness. Dr. Ashley then discusses how other positive psychological constructs such as psychological strength, resilience, and confidence relate to happiness and provides listeners with some actionable steps individuals can take in their daily life to increase their happiness.
