Unlocking the Science of Happiness with Marci Shimoff
Welcome to the Jack Canfield podcast. I'm thrilled to introduce today's remarkable guest, Marci Shimoff. Marci is a number one New York Times bestselling author, a world-renowned transformational teacher, and a dedicated advocate for finding joy and love in every aspect of life.
Her books, including the runaway bestsellers "Happy for No Reason" and "Love for No Reason," have inspired millions and have been translated into 33 languages. She has co-authored numerous "Chicken Soup for the Soul" books, including editions for women, mothers, and singles. Her books have spent 121 weeks on the New York Times bestsellers list, making her one of the best-selling female nonfiction authors. Marci is also the host of the popular PBS special "Happy for No Reason," a featured teacher in the book and movie "The Secret," and she brings miracles into people's lives through her podcast "Living in the Miracle Zone" and her global program "Your Year of Miracles," which has thousands of participants from over 80 countries.
Tune into this discussion between Jack Canfield and Marci Shimoff, where they discuss Marci’s journey of unhappiness and overcoming it through research and interviews with happy people. They explore the science behind happiness and genetics, habits, and emotional contagion. Marci shares her framework of the seven areas influencing happiness and 21 habits to improve each area and raise one's happiness setpoint. Inspired by her mentor, Jack Canfield, Marci went from struggling with depression to developing a happiness program called "30 Days to a Happier Life" based on her research, helping many others increase their happiness levels over the years.
