The Happiness Toolbox

The Happiness Toolbox

Work hard, be successful, and then at last be happy—right? We think that we need to follow this sequence of events, believing it must be easier when we get more successful. It's a model many of us have been taught, but according to Neil Pasricha—author of The Happiness Equation—we have it completely backwards! Neil discovered first-hand that some of the most successful people out there aren’t actually happy. So, he set himself on a mission to find out how to actually change our mood today, rather than hoping it changes some time in the future. In this episode, you'll hear 7 tools from Neil’s book which are scientifically proven to provide an instant happiness boost.
