Right now , I mean , all right , I , I live for this friend , you know , I live for this , my friend . I spent so much of my life being so deeply depressed , so stressed out , so anxious , so self loathing and self hating that it feels mostly like most moments are the happiest moments of my life just because I'm more in touch with that inherent innate and intrinsic happiness , that's always there . But that being said , I love these conversations .
I know it's gonna be great . So simple question , Rob , what does happiness mean to you ? Yeah .
So I'll give you the pr friendly intro and then I'll give you the Rob friendly intro . So , you know , I'm a positive psychology expert and a celebrity happiness coach and the author of Happiness from the Inside Out . I worked for about 20 plus years on helping people sort of strike this energizing balance of authentic personal happiness and effortless professional success based on time tested face , valid empirical data and transcendental or timeless wisdom , right ?
Absolutely . I mean , you know , particularly at the very beginning of my happiness journey in this lifetime . I , I spent a lot of time exercising for me getting out and running was very helpful because if I could exhaust my body , my mind could finally rest and relax .
You know , I mostly think of myself as someone like , I think all of us who's always sought and wanted to be deeply , truly happy inside but has struggled more than , or as much as anyone on the planet with that . Uh , it's a lot of depression and suicidal ideation earlier in my life . And so I'm like the least likely person to even be having this conversation .
