Ever felt like you're on a never-ending quest for happiness, yet it's always just out of reach? You're not alone. In fact, many of us find ourselves in a relentless cycle of chasing moments of joy, hoping to catch them, only to watch them slip through our fingers. It's exhausting, isn't it?

But in this episode of the HAPPINESS SQUAD Podcast, our very own Founder, Ashish Kothari, offers us a fresh perspective. He talks about happiness not as something you chase after, but as something you can cultivate within – like a garden that needs tending. 

He introduces us to the Sunflower Model of the 9 Hardwired for Happiness practices, which includes self-awareness, purpose, mindfulness, gratitude, mastering emotions, well-being, building a sense of community, and intentional living. These happy habits offer us tangible tools to navigate through our daily challenges and plant the seeds of a happier, more fulfilling life.

It's about time we learn to find joy in the here and now, to grow from our past without being tethered to it, and to look forward to the future with optimism, not fear. So tune in to this first solo episode with Ashish.
