On this episode of The Business Mastermind Podcast, Gavin is joined by David Taylor and Clair Carpenter, the co-authors of the book ‘BLISS: How to Be Truly Happy For the Rest of Your Life', to talk about happiness.
David and Clair come at the world from very different points of view, David sees it through the lens of possibility, potential and purpose, Clair sees it through the rigour of science and robust research. But, both are looking for what we should be focussing on to find happiness.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Psychology is a lot of the answer that we can make life extremely happy and blissful.'
‘No event has any meaning other than the meaning you choose to give it.'
‘One of the most powerful questions we can ask ourselves if “what if?” Go and make a cup of tea.'
‘If you address the happiness of those who need help first, that's when other things happen, especially in corporate environments.'
‘We achieve success every single day, if people recorded their successes from the moment the woke up, you'd get into an abundance mindset. Celebrate everything you do.'

So much of Mental Health focuses on what is 'wrong' with us - Bliss does the very opposite, and focuses on what is 'right' with us, as Human Beings, regardless of how we may be feeling at the moment. With this 'Mental Wellness' as its base, Bliss provides powerful, practical and proven ways to true happiness. These can be applied straight away, with very fast results, that work with everyone. Co-written by David Taylor, author of The Naked Leader series of best-selling books, and Harvard psychology post-graduate Clair Carpenter - aka 'The Naked Psychologist', 'Bliss' is a combination of real-life tools, tips and techniques, backed up by science, research and academic references. It will help anyone who reads it move closer to happiness.
