In today's episode, I chatted with a leading expert in positive psychology who has dedicated his life to promoting mental health and well-being. I'm excited by this guest because he not only shares valuable insights but also speaks openly about his own experiences with mental illness, aiming to destigmatise these important issues. I like his book because it provides practical strategies for building happiness and resilience, making these concepts accessible to everyone.

Episode Content

  • Destigmatising Mental Illness: We discuss how sharing personal stories can help reduce the stigma around mental health issues.
  • Practical Mental Health Strategies: Learn techniques for improving mental health, similar to building physical strength at the gym.
  • Debunking Happiness Myths: We tackle common misconceptions about happiness, including the idea that it should come naturally or that we should be happy all the time.
  • Positive Psychology: Explore how shifting from traditional clinical psychology to positive psychology can enhance well-being.
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: Understand the balance between accepting our emotions and committing to positive actions.
  • Toxic Positivity: Discuss the dangers of unrealistic positivity and the importance of acknowledging all emotions.
  • Men's Mental Health: Highlight the unique challenges men face regarding mental health, including how depression can present differently in men and women.
