198 - A Life Worth Living W/ Matt Gersper

Wealthy Wellthy Podcast

On a scale from 1-5, how happy are you? 1 would mean flat-out depressed most days. 3 is living the status quo. And, 5 means you are living your good life and wake up fulfilled and happy (most days, anyway!).

If you are between 1 and 3, the question to ask oneself is WHY? What is the source or circumstance that is (or at least appears to be) the “cause” of life of so-so (at best)?

If you are less than a 4 -- what if I told you that there is a Happiness Formula? That by following the code, you could pretty quickly and easily push up your score.

Let’s give a couple of tenants of happiness a practice. Assuming you are less than a 4 -- try these:

1. Create a Happy Mental state via a Deliberate Physical Action
2. Deliberately Smile (until you feel Happy)
3. Observe a Physical Action that can come via a Deliberate Mental State
4. Think to yourself, “I’m Happy,” (until you Smile)

In this episode, I interview Matt Gersper. Matt literally wrote the book on “how to live a happier life” based on a Happiness Quotient that he assembled after studying happiness for many years. He witnessed the uncommon level of happiness in others who lived by this formula. And discovered for himself that it works! He is now a self-proclaimed happy person!!

And, I proclaim the same. I met Matt at a Paleo f(x)™ conference. Before I knew what he did, my thought upon meeting him was “wow, that guy is happy!” When I quickly learned he authored a book on happiness, I was immediately curious … “what secret does that guy know that the rest of us do not …”

To find out his secret I asked him to be on the Wealthy Wellthy podcast -- since the mission of my company is to help others architect a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life.

So, if you wish for a little more happiness, no matter where you are on the scale -- you’ll wish to listen in.
