SHOW INTRODUCTION:

If you’ve ever wanted to get happier, be happier, or find more happiness in your life, then do we have the Happier: Learn the Secrets to Daily Joy and Lasting Fulfillment show for you.

Today I’ll be talking with Tal Ben-Shahar former Harvard Professor and one of the leading Happiness experts in the world. He’s also the author of several fantastic books on Happiness including Choose the Life You Want: The Mindful Way to Happiness, and Happier: Learn the Secrets to Daily Joy and Lasting Fulfillment.

And that’s just what I’ll be talking with him about today, about how to live a richer, happier life.

That plus we’ll talk about winning the lottery, life lessons from squash, lifelines vs. timeliness, why life is too short to be in a hurry, and what in the world’s the hamburger model?
