Are you truly happy—or just chasing moments of pleasure? In The Secrets of a Happy Person, Dr. Roger Landry, MD, MPH, and Danielle Palli, National Board Certified Positive Psychology and Mindfulness Coach, unpack why happiness can feel so elusive—and why it matters more than ever. Blending neuroscience, psychology, and real-life tools, they explore the difference between pleasure and joy, the brain’s reward system, and the powerful role of positive emotions like gratitude, hope, love, and awe. From longevity and resilience to better relationships and clearer thinking, the science is clear: happiness isn’t fluff—it’s foundational.

This episode dives into the core pillars of lasting happiness—gratitude, social connection, mindfulness, and purpose—while offering practical tools you can start using today. Learn how micro-moments of connection build emotional wealth, how mindfulness helps you master your thoughts instead of reacting to them, and why your purpose goes far beyond your job title. With actionable strategies, eye-opening research, and a reminder that happiness requires intention and continued practice, this conversation will leave you empowered to build a more meaningful, joyful life—one choice at a time.
