In this episode, Tal Ben-Shahar, bestselling author and pioneer in happiness studies, reveals how small daily shifts can boost well-being, why true resilience is about more than bouncing back, and how rethinking expectations can change everything.

About Our Guest:
Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar is a globally renowned teacher and bestselling author whose work challenges the myth that happiness is about ease or avoidance. He taught two of the most popular courses in Harvard’s history and is the founder of the Happiness Studies Academy, where he created the world’s first Master's Degree in Happiness Studies.
His message is clear: happiness is not the absence of hardship—it’s the presence of tools, mindsets, and meaning that help us grow through it. This is resilience 2.0, the kind that doesn’t just help us bounce back, but brings us back stronger.
