Sean Conroy Gets Happier

The light at the end of the merry-go-round stops by to tell Sean about working from home (the new "workscape"), comfortable couches, and how to survive a pandemic by pretending you live in the Cineramadome.

Sean takes a trip into the past: a bus ride, staying up all night, an amusement and water park, another amusement and water park, the Champ, the Bounty Hunter, the President, a tram, and deep disappointment in the lobby (?) of a rest stop in South Jersey. 

Janet Varney gives Sean some helpful tips about why it's worthwhile to find gluten-free bakeries, the cost of vintage clothing in Copenhagen, and how easy it is to steal a somewhat offensive idea and create Disneyland.

Jamie Kurtz joins Sean (without leaving her home!) to talk about the stress of travel, how a little knowledge of geology can enhance your experience of the Grand Canyon, why it's okay to watch basketball, and most importantly, not focusing on happiness too hard.

Dave Holmes tells Sean about dealing with anxiety, running marathons, the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius, and the help he gets from two glasses of wine.

Stephen Starkweather tells Sean about leaving the Navy, the FBI, a terrorism think tank, and a firearms company behind, in order to pursue the life of a humble thespian, because that's ultimately what he really wanted to do. 

Comedian, musician, and life coach Greg Behrendt schools Sean on the difference between purpose and passion, how to live minus five instead of times ten, and why life is about letting go of the outcome and focussing on the process.

Happiness consultant and author Laurie Warren treats Sean to some breathing snacks, tells him how to create new neurocircuitry in the brain, and tries (with little success) to convince him that the TSA is not out to get him personally. 

Carl Tart graciously elucidates the wonders of Rotel dip for Sean, sees Tim Allen, plans a Jewish pizza outing, and gets back into the gym.

Amy Wilson talks about having a family, gives tips on how to annoy a pregnant woman at a party, and explains why people from Spain might be happy even if they aren't smiling.
