Although some psychologists tend to shy away from the question “What is happiness,” Radvan remained unfazed and not only described happiness as we currently understand it, but also shared several ways to achieve this state.

We also explored current topics like mindfulness, self-awareness, and self-efficacy—the belief that everything you undertake will turn out well. :-) Viewers who’ve wanted to follow the clichéd advice to follow their passion but aren’t sure what that passion is will find something for them, as will those of you who want to avoid routine and automatic habits settling into your life.

Why watch this episode?

  • In conversation with a bit of luck, we’ll discover previously unknown joys and pleasures that help boost our inner emotional balance.
  • We’ll also learn which things drain the biggest amounts from this balance—and how these outgoing payments often appear at first glance as incoming ones.
  • We’ll talk about two crucial (and sneaky) differences between a bank account and the one in our hearts, as well as how to practically learn anything, with or without a diploma.

We look forward to having you join us! :-)
