Food, We Need To Talk

Practical Tools for a Happier Life: Flow States, Gratitude, and More


Listen Later

In this episode, we continue our conversation with Dr. Liana Lianov about how to apply positive psychology in real life. We explore why feeling stressed—even when life is objectively good—is so common, and how practices like kindness, gratitude (but not too much!), and flow states can help shift our mindset. Dr. Lianov shares science-backed strategies for boosting well-being, why doing good for others can actually make you feel better, and the surprising connection between stress and fulfillment. Plus, we each reflect on one kind act we've done recently—because even small moments of generosity can make a big impact.
