Dr. Tim Sharp, fondly recognized as Dr. Happy. His transition from a clinical academic to the Chief Happiness Officer of the Happiness Institute is one for the books. Together, we debunk the most common misconceptions about happiness, as Dr. Sharp explains why continuous happiness is not the end goal and why recognizing negative life events is crucial.

We shift gears to discuss the significance of mentors in personal and professional growth, and how there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution to happiness. Each person must forge their unique combination. We also tackle some widespread myths about happiness and learn that it’s not just about feeling good. We examine the role relationships play in our satisfaction, how money contributes to happiness when used appropriately, and how altruism and volunteering can enhance life satisfaction.
