23. Redefining Happiness In Life & Business With Susanna Halonen


Listen Later

Today on the show I’m talking to author and life coach, The Happyologist, Susannah Halonen.
One of the most common questions Susannah gets asked is, ‘Are you always happy”, to which she always responds, ‘No, I’m human.”
While she’s now recognised for her research on happiness, she’s the first to tell you that it took years for her to get to the place she’s in personally.
Before she embarked on this journey, she subscribed to the myths about happiness we’ve all bought into:
That happiness means never experiencing negative emotions.
And that to experience happiness, we constantly need to be succeeding at what we’re doing and reach every single one of our goals in record time.
Of course, none of that is true.
That’s why she’s made it her mission to change the way we think about happiness in order to start cultivating a definition on our terms.
To celebrate the launch of her new book, Happiness Is Here: A 30 Day Guide To Joy And Fulfilment, Susannah and I talk about what it was like giving up her high flying job in marketing to go back to school and start building a coaching business from the ground up.
We talk about how her relationships changed, as her definition of success did; we talk about the role habits play in living a good life and the steps we can all take to overcome our negativity biases.
What I love so much about the book is that it prompts you to ask yourself some real questions; many of which we explore in this episode like the importance of knowing your ‘why’ and creating white space to listen to our intuition.
Enjoy!
