Jessica Weiss on Building Lasting Happiness: Practical Tips and Heartfelt Insights

Episode Overview

  • Happiness can be grown through friendships, relationships, enthusiasm, engagement, and work
  • The quality and diversity of friendships is the number one predictor of happiness
  • More material possessions and money do not bring lasting happiness
  • Deliberate effort and intentional practices are vital in fostering lasting happiness
  • Celebrating small wins, journaling daily joy, and finding happiness at work are key strategies for enhancing happiness
If you can grow happiness in these three ways, you can have overall lasting happiness in your whole life.
Imagine a life where happiness isn't just a fleeting moment but a well-cultivated garden. In this heartwarming episode of 'The Well-Tended Life Podcast', host Keri Wilt chats with happiness expert Jessica Weiss, who shares her wisdom on growing true happiness. Jessica, with over 15 years of research and speaking experience, dives into the core elements that contribute to lasting joy. She reveals that our friendships and relationships are key players in our happiness journey.
The quality and diversity of these connections can significantly impact our overall well-being. Did you know that friendships tend to evolve every seven years? Jessica explains this fascinating lifecycle and how repeated exposure to the same people helps in cultivating strong bonds. Happiness, as she puts it, isn't something we're born with; it's something we need to nurture. More possessions or money won't bring lasting joy, but investing time in meaningful activities will.
Jessica highlights the 'sweet spot' of having 2-5 hours of free time daily, which can boost happiness without overwhelming us. The conversation also touches on the importance of progress in our daily lives. Whether it's at work or in personal projects, setting aside time each day to work towards something meaningful can significantly enhance our sense of fulfillment.
Keri and Jessica's discussion is filled with practical tips and heartfelt insights that will inspire you to make deliberate efforts in your happiness journey. From celebrating small wins to journaling daily joys, this episode is a treasure trove of happiness strategies. Tune in to discover how you can integrate these well-tended habits into your own life and cultivate a garden of lasting happiness.
