How to be Happy

The park bench epiphany that led to a life transformation


Listen Later

Gregory Smith has led an extraordinary life. But not always a happy one. After years of alcoholism, drug abuse and homelessness, he had an epiphany that led to a remarkable transformation. From that moment, he never again touched alcohol, drugs or tobacco. He went back to school and is now a university lecturer and author with a partner and young son - and a contented life.

He is a wise man guided by a set of happiness principals.

In this episode you will learn:

How to let go of control and let life guide you rather than paddling against the current

How to inhabit the mindset of a different person to change your life

How doing good and helping others can turn your own life around

How setting meaningful goals and moving towards them is the real key to transformation.
