Summary of Episode
In this episode of The Mindful Experiment, host Dr. Vic Manzo interviews Dr. Elia Gourgouris, a clinical psychologist and author. Dr. Gourgouris shares his journey from clinical practice to leadership training and executive coaching. He discusses writing his book "Seven Paths to Lasting Happiness" and a subsequent book on navigating crises, inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dr. Gourgouris introduces four personality types that emerge during crises: the victim, the critic, the bystander, and the navigator. He emphasizes that everyone possesses all four types but should strive to be a navigator. Navigators practice self-care, listen to their intuition, remain flexible, maintain a positive attitude, collaborate with others, and take action.
The conversation explores the importance of adapting to challenges, likening resilient individuals to palm trees that bend but don't break. Dr. Gourgouris stresses the significance of conscious acts of kindness and helping others as a means to overcome personal struggles. The episode concludes with advice on finding happiness and not taking oneself too seriously.
