Episode 50: How to Cultivate True Happiness with Jessica Weiss

Why Listen? In my journal practice, I write down what I call “heart taps”, which are the things that speak directly to my heart. Here are a few of the heart tap moments that I wrote down from this interview:

1. We can actually grow our happiness via our friendships/relationships, enthusiasm/engagement and work. 
2. The quality and diversity of our friendships is the number one predictor of happiness. 
3. The best way to cultivating friendships is with repeated exposure to the same people. 
4. There is a lifecycle to friendships. About every 7 years they will change. 
5. We are not hard wired for happiness, it’s something we have to cultivate.  
6. More things and money will never bring you true lasting happiness. 
7. There is a sweet spot for the amount of free time that makes us happy: 2-5 hours. More than that is actually detrimental to your happiness. 
8. Happiness requires real effort to reap the rewards. 
9. Building in a sense of progress into your day will help boost happiness in your workplace. 
10. Blocking out time everyday to work towards something that is meaningful and important to you…will boost your happiness too.
