Welcome back!

This week I’m super excited to share my conversation with Dr. Gillian Mandich.

Gillian has a PhD from Western University in Health Science, specializing in Health Promotion. Her primary areas of research are happiness and health, and her work combines the latest research, practical wisdom, and engagement to help people live happier, healthier lives.

Gillian is the founder of The International Happiness Institute of Health Science Research, is part of the Meant2Prevent research team at SickKids, and is the co-lead investigator of The Canadian Happiness At Work Study.

She appears regularly in the media on shows such as The Social, Marilyn Denis, Breakfast Television, The Morning Show, and CBC, and was named the CanFitPro 2020 Canadian Presenter of the Year. She has given two TEDx talks: “The Surprising Truth About Happiness” and “The Two Things You Need To Know To Be Happier Today”.

In this conversation we dive into the latest research around happiness, the connection between health and happiness, and the importance of gratitude.
