#132 Dr Tim Sharp - Chief Happiness Officer at The Happiness Institute, and internationally renowned leader in the fields of positive psychology and mental health
Today we spoke with Dr. Tim Sharp - Chief Happiness Officer at The Happiness Institute, and internationally renowned leader in the fields of positive psychology and mental health. What does happiness mean? Are you happy? How can I be happier? Big questions that we ask ourselves, our children and our friends every day. We unpacked all these with Dr Sharp aka Dr Happy. Dr. Sharp has three degrees in psychology (including a Ph.D.) and an impressive record as an academic, clinician and coach. He previously set up one of Sydney’s most respected clinical psychology practices, a highly regarded Executive Coaching practice, and is the founder of The Happiness Institute, Australia’s first organisation devoted solely to enhancing happiness. Dr. Sharp has worked with hundreds of organisations including Ernst & Young, IBM, Westpac, and Coca Cola; he is a best selling author of “The Happiness Handbook”, "100 Ways to Happiness: a guide for busy people" and "100 Ways to Happy Children: a guide for busy parents". We spoke about understanding and measuring happiness, joy in sport and business, gratitude - and positivity and engagement in high performing setups. It was great to hear that negative emotions are normal, that we can't be happy all the time - and dug into the balance of performance and happiness. A special thank you to Bernadette Clancy RIP for bringing you this episode.
