Too Damn Happy: How High-Achieving Women Can Flourish in a Tired World (with Phil Januszewski)
RSS Feed Meta description: Casey and author Phil Januszewski talk about how high-achieving, impact-driven women can flourish through small daily choices that stay within their control.
What if the happiness you keep putting off until the weekend has been in your hands the whole time?
Casey welcomes back fan favorite Phil Januszewski. Phil taught high school chemistry and physics for 20 years before becoming a full-time speaker, and he's the author of the new book Too Damn Happy: Flourishing in a Tired and Uninspired World. His "let me be clear" statement sets the tone for the conversation: your happiness and ability to flourish is so much in your control, and you don't have to wait for someone else to fix it for you.
If your sense of worth is tied to what you produce, this episode gives you a new way to think about what keeps you going.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why a life without stress only gets you to neutral, and what moves you past it into flourishing
- How happiness, thriving and flourishing differ, and why flourishing is a skill you can build
- How your "ers" (baker, connector, giver, upcycler) can give you three-minute wins every day
- The "leaky tire" view of happiness and why passion for your work needs backup
- Engines and anchors: who pushes you forward, and who you're an engine for
You'll also hear about the student who skipped Phil's class for weeks because Mr. J was "too happy."
This week's challenge: List your ers. Find the small moments where you can wiggle your toes in the sand and be fully present.
