There's so much data to show that people who are kinder, who have very altruistic traits, actually are healthier and live longer, are happier and live lives filled with meaning and purpose, which is so fulfilling in a very deep way that other forms of happiness or joy may not bring.
Ever feel like you’re stuck in a never-ending cycle of stress just to achieve success? This episode of 'The One You Feed' might just be the game-changer you need. Host Eric Zimmer sits down with Emma Seppälä, Ph.D., the Science Director at Stanford University’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education. Emma is also the author of 'The Happiness Track: How to Apply the Science of Happiness to Accelerate Your Success'.
She brings a wealth of knowledge on how happiness and success are more intertwined than we often realize. Emma challenges the common belief that stress is a necessary ingredient for success. Instead, she argues that our stress response should be reserved for fight-or-flight situations, not our daily grind. Through practical tips like meditation and nature walks, she explains how we can manage stress more effectively and avoid burnout.
She also delves into the pitfalls of information overload and how trauma can affect our cognitive abilities. Emma emphasizes the importance of compassion, kindness, and altruism—not just for others, but for our own well-being. According to her, people who embrace these traits tend to live longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. One of the highlights of this episode is a simple breathing exercise Emma shares, designed to help you navigate difficult moments.
Whether you're looking to create a positive work environment or just want to find a better balance between success and happiness, this conversation offers valuable insights. So if you're tired of the hustle culture and want to find a more sustainable path to success, tune in. This episode is packed with actionable advice and thought-provoking ideas that could help you redefine what it means to be truly successful.
