    He is the son of the late entertainer Robin Williams, whose legacy of joy and heart remains through iconic films including Mrs Doubtfire, Dead Poets Society and Good Morning Vietnam. Having lost his dad a decade ago, he knows it’s possible to live with the scars of trauma but it takes a lot of inner work to remain resilient.

    If you'd like to live a happier life, this episode will remind you that every day is sacred, nothing lasts forever, and you can lift your life out of darkness to a place of happiness and contentment.
