Ingrid Fetell Lee: Joy vs. Happiness

Are you sometimes so preoccupied with becoming happy to the point that it makes you feel anxious because you have the feeling it will always stay out of your reach? Sometimes we focus on the pursuit of Happiness (with that capital H) so much, that we miss out on the joy that’s already available. Actually, joy is so easy to access that we often dismiss it as frivolous and childish, then we really miss out. In this episode designer, researcher and author of the book Joyful, Ingrid Fetell Lee, explains why it's so important to separate joy from happiness, and how you can harness the small joys all around you to feel brighter—pretty much instantly.

Good moods are contagious. So contagious, in fact, that TV shows with laugh tracks are consistently rated as being funnier. But, bad moods are contagious too. Sigal Barsade, a researcher and professor at the Wharton School of Business, explains how we can use this phenomenon to make ourselves and our organizations a little bit happier.

Perfectionism and The Idealised Self

Do you ever feel that if you could only be a bit more perfect that your life would be happier and easier? There's nothing wrong with us having goals or aspiring to be better than we are now. The trouble is that when we focus on this idealized image we created in our head, we don't actually acknowledge that it’s idealized. In this episode you'll learn why it’s so important to acknowledge that this idealized version of you exists, and how you can become more aware of the things that you do—not because you actually want to do them, but because you think you should be doing them.
