Featured Story

Scott humorously references Bobby McFerrin's controversial song about happiness and marriage before launching into his tried-and-true happiness principles. As someone who always tries to "walk his talk," Scott shares deeply personal insights, including one of the last pieces of advice from his late wife: "Do what makes your heart sing." His genuine approach and willingness to admit when he falls short make these happiness rules truly authentic.

Key Takeaways

True happiness comes from doing what makes your heart sing, even when that path is difficult or scary.

Believe anything is possible, but balance this with thinking logically about what's achievable.

Meeting people where they are in their lives emotionally and walking together creates meaningful connections that enhance happiness.

Memorable Quotes

"You always feel better when dancing down your path."

"As soon as you believe that anything is possible, everything is possible."

"Some of the best days I've had were unhappy, but they were sure joyful days."

Scott's Three-Step Approach

Be nice and be cool no matter what, while still being honest and sticking to your values.

Do the right thing, and if you mess up, say sorry and try again.

Keep things simple to gather wisdom, which is your lifetime goal.
