How To Be Happy

How to Unlock Your Strengths - HTBH #19


Listen Later

What if the key to being happier wasn’t fixing what’s “wrong” with you but doubling down on what’s right with you?

In this episode, we explore how discovering and using your character strengths can transform your happiness, performance, and relationships. You'll learn how to shift away from the self-help trap of endless self-improvement and instead recognise what already makes you uniquely powerful.

We dive into the science-backed VIA Character Strengths framework, unpack how to identify your signature strengths, and explain how to apply them across key areas of life; including work, parenting, and love.

Inside this episode:

✅ Why most people scroll straight to the bottom of their strengths report (and why that’s a mistake)

✅ How to use your top five character strengths to become more of your best self — not someone else’s version of you

✅ Why using your strengths daily can boost happiness, productivity, and wellbeing

✅ How to access your free VIA Character Strengths profile

✅ Examples of strengths in action; from teamwork and creativity to kindness and perseverance

✅ How to stop seeing yourself as a “self-improvement project” and start seeing yourself as already capable

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing enough or not “good enough,” this episode is your reminder: you’re stronger than you think.
