It's a skillset you build — and most engineering leaders have never been taught how. ​ Zach sits down with Dr. Elia Gourgouris, "The Happiness Doctor," to unpack why so many high-achieving engineers stay stuck in their heads, carry around a hundred-pound backpack of resentment and regret, and confuse a full calendar with a meaningful life. They get into the brands we were given as kids, the micro habits that actually move the needle, and the three things the happiest people do differently when life gets hard. ​ You'll learn: • Why "happiness is a choice" is only half the story — and what the other half actually requires • The three things successful, happy people do differently with adversity (and why letting go is the one most leaders skip) • How to stop confusing "busy" with productive, and start leading yourself first • The simple daily practice that rewires gratitude into a real skill, not a slogan ​ 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗰𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗻𝗼 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿?
