What makes a Life Fulfilling and Meaningful? Lessons From the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness. With Dr. Robert Waldinger
This was such a fun interview — our encore guest today is Dr. Robert Waldinger, a Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, a practicing Psychiatrist, Zen Master and author of the book The Good Life, Lessons from the Worlds Longest Scientific Study on Happiness. This study, which began in 1938, reveals what it takes to build a good life. What does that exactly mean, I wondered…fulfilling, satisfying, meaningful, happy? All of it. There's no one size fits all. BUT…the one thing that was consistent? Relationships. All kinds of relationships. The quality of the social connections that we make throughout our lives means everything. He says…Human connection is our superpower. Good relationships help us get through life’s inevitable challenges, and they keep us happier and healthier. and the research shows that they actually help us to live longer. Robert reminds us that we should pay attention to the things that we really care about…the things and people that energize us. AND pay attention to the things and people that deplete us. He shares the keystones of healthy relationships — things like safety security, emotional closeness, fun and relaxation, learning and growth…and there’s more.

How to Be Enough: Self-Acceptance for Self-Critics and Perfectionists. With Dr. Ellen Hendriksen
Today’s episode is with Clinical Psychologist and author, Dr. Ellen Hendriksen. Her new book is called How to Be Enough: Self-Acceptance for Self-Critics and Perfectionists. What a great title! Ellen shares the truth behind perfectionism and why many of us never feel quite ‘good enough.’ Ever feel imposter syndrome? Most of us do. She delivers amazing advice on how we can allow for mistakes (because we’re human!) without lowering our expectations or standards. She discusses how we can move from self-criticism to kindness, from control to authenticity, from procrastination to productivity and from comparison to, finally, contentment. She gives us the roadmap for finding self-acceptance and even some tips on how we can rewrite our own Inner Rulebook. If you’re wired to be judgmental of yourself and others…and who isn’t!! You’ll find this to be incredibly helpful.
