The Happiness Tuneup: Recipes for the Good Life with Stephanie Harrison MA

Consider that everything you’ve been told about happiness is wrong. Happiness isn’t a new car, changing an insurance provider, or a crystal clear cellphone connection. Those are marketing messages designed to make us feel the choices we’ve made aren’t good enough. There is no one-size-fits-all for happiness. Happiness is about living our truth and accepting ourselves as we are.

Happiness is available to us regardless of external circumstances.

To find out how to get a happiness tuneup for life, Harvesting Happiness Podcast host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with an expert in the science of happiness and the creator of the New Happy philosophy, Stephanie Harrison MA.

Stephanie shares the three big lies Western society tells us about our ability to obtain happiness, why she preaches happiness to everyone she meets, and how being happy doesn’t mean being perfect.

Original Air Date Wednesday, February 5, 2025.
