"Happiness lives in the present moment."


Think about a time when you felt fulfilled, joyful, and happy. There was no time to be worried about paying your mortgage or something you regret you didn't say in your last argument, and that is because you were there, living the moment; you were present.


In today's episode, I'm joined by Dr. Greg Hammer, a pediatric intensive care physician and anesthesiologist, professor at Stanford University Medical Center, and best-selling author of "GAIN without pain."


Throughout our conversation, Dr. Greg shares the story of how he fell in love with critical care medicine and why he went through the pediatric medicine path. We also discuss happiness, how to be consistent in pursuing it, the teamwork between thoughts and feelings needed to achieve it, and the elements that impede happiness.


Additionally, Dr. Greg explains how to use the GAIN method to rewire our brains, the attitude we must adopt facing adversity, how the environment can affect our happiness levels, and more.


Tune in to Episode 374 and discover how to get into the path to happiness that lies right in front of all of us.
