  1. The Secret to Happiness

    The Secret to Happiness

    Hello friends. Welcome back to Growth Tails. Happiness is a goal we share but how we get it will differ. My guest today is Vanessa the Vivacious, who interviewed thousands of people as part of a global project to understand what makes people happy. Positive psychology tells us that aspects like relationships, meaning, and quality habits make a difference. But what does the person on the street think, literally? Vanessa's research finds it's more subjective than that. If happiness, and how to get more of it, interests you, reach out to me for a free coaching at peter@peteranthonyconsulting.com In this conversation, Vanessa The Vivacious shares her journey of interviewing strangers about happiness, revealing that happiness is a subjective experience shaped by individual life stories. She discusses the emotional depth of these interactions, the importance of active listening, and how sharing personal stories can foster connection and healing. The conversation highlights the complexities of happiness, the impact of storytelling, and the significance of being present for others. In this conversation, Peter Anthony and Vanessa The Vivacious explore the themes of possibility, happiness, and personal growth. They discuss the impact of motivational figures like Les Brown, the importance of taking small steps towards goals, and the subjective nature of happiness. Vanessa shares her journey of self-discovery and the creation of her new project, Humanity 2.0, which aims to highlight the positive aspects of humanity. The conversation emphasizes the uniqueness of each individual's path to happiness and the importance of social connections. In this engaging conversation, Vanessa The Vivacious and Peter Anthony explore the complexities of relationships, the importance of personal growth, and the power of service to others. They discuss the significance of human connection, the art of listening, and the journey of podcasting as a means of storytelling. The dialogue emphasizes the beauty of humanity and happiness, encouraging listeners to reflect on their own lives and interactions with others. Key takeaways: Happiness is subjective and varies from person to person. People often reflect deeply on their lives when asked about happiness. Many individuals waste time worrying about things that never happen. Sharing stories can create profound connections between people. Active listening is crucial for meaningful conversations. People often reveal more when they feel truly heard. Hope can exist even in the most challenging circumstances. The act of sharing unhappiness can lead to healing.
