What makes you happy?

A new dress, a fancy car, a big house?

While all these things are nice, the happiness they bring is only temporary and it fades away as quickly as it came.

So perhaps a better question to ask might be: what gives you deep and lasting fulfilment? Or in other words: what helps you flourish in life? My guest today can provide some pointers for you!

Today, I am joined by Dr Maike Neuhaus, the founder of The Flourishing Doc. Dr Maike supports individuals and organisations to help them understand what humans need to flourish, so they can realise their potential and create impacts that excite them. She does so through public speaking, coaching and educating. Dr Maike is a psychologist specialised in self-leadership as well as positive and coaching psychology; and, a researcher and lecturer at a top 50 university.

We discussed:

• Why there is more to “mental health” than the absence of disease

• How flourishing is different from happiness

• Myths about happiness (no, it’s not about your bank account!)

• The secret sauce of flourishing

• Yes, you CAN flourish even if you’re struggling with ED!

• Steps you can take today to flourish more
