Happiest Man Alive is a fascinating and vulnerable psychological case study of what it means to actually take your life seriously, learning to live it doing the things you love and removing the obstacles in your way. It takes real bravery and commitment to yourself to really examine the good and bad in your life, even more to make the radical changes to go after what you love, and still more to share that process with the world, so thank you Amanda Maxham.
As a real junkie for stories of hardcore introspection and all-in attempts at self-improvement, it’s hard to find something not to like here. Amanda makes earnest efforts to struggle and learn about herself, Tal gives great advice and inspiration, and progress actually seems to get made slowly but surely. Too many of these self-improvement kinds of stories end up with the hero throwing up their hands or learning to settle for the status quo or reaching success but not quite happiness. This story sounds different in a promising way so far.
Also, for those of us who, like me, are more used to listening to hours of lectures and talk shows, Happiest Man Alive is a breath of fresh air in terms of sound design. I can see that there is a reason Amanda Maxham seems to have the reputation as the go-to podcaster in certain circles. I’m just glad her energy is focused on presenting Tal’s Happiness Team techniques because there’s a lot of people who could benefit from them, myself definitely included.
Keep up the good work and I can’t wait to know what comes next. I’m excited to learn more of Tal’s techniques and also hear what the life of the happiest woman alive is like in the end.
