A few months ago, Daisy Ilaria, founder of the Realistic Happiness podcast, reached out to me with an invitation: „Ania, would you be interested in joining our podcast as a guest to share insights on happiness and why it has become such a focal point in workplaces, societies, and communities?”
I immediately said yes, and we had a meaningful conversation where I shared my expertise, personal experiences, and reflections on happiness. What unfolded was a deep dive into life satisfaction, well-being, and the evolving pursuit of happiness in today’s world.
In this episode, we explore thought-provoking questions such as:
- Why are people in the 21st century constantly chasing happiness?
- The key differences between happiness and pleasure
- How to resist the pressures of constant productivity and external validation to truly connect with what brings you joy
- How different cultures define and experience happiness, from Japan’s Ikigai to Denmark’s Hygge and the Netherlands’ Gezelligheid
- Generational Perspectives on Happiness
- The power of silence in enhancing well-being
Happy watching or listening!
