Creativity is something that we have all been endowed with...but how many of us are using our creativity? Listen in on my upcoming conversations with people using their creativity in many different ways. It's my hope that all of my listeners will finally acknowledge and use the creativity they were born with.

We tie up all the loose ends from our previous conversations today and discuss the research behind happiness, and how this helps us understand how we can set goals and stick to them. This is a fun way to end our conversation and Heidi and I want to hear from you if you've incorporated anything new in your life by listening to this series.

Today we try to describe Hygge...easy to do, difficult to describe!
