The Happiest People Do This. You're Probably Not.

In this video, I walk you through two of the most important pieces of research on happiness — the Harvard Study of Adult Development (85 years of data) and Seligman's PERMA framework and what they say about how to build a life that genuinely flourishes. Some of it directly contradicts what high-performance culture tells you to prioritize.I also walk you through a PERMA self-assessment at the end. I use this same tool with coaching clients so you can see exactly where you are across the five elements of wellbeing.📌 Links mentioned in this video:Harvard Study of Adult Development → https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2017/04/over-nearly-80-years-harvard-study-has-been-showing-how-to-live-a-healthy-and-happy-life/Flourish by Martin Seligman (2011) → available on Amazon, Audible, and most librariesWant to work together?Courage Coaching is for adults 18+ experiencing mild to moderate stress, burnout, or career challenges.
