Description

Stop chasing happiness and start building a life where it happens naturally. In this episode, Harvard’s Tal Ben-Chahar reveals why the direct pursuit of joy often leads to misery and how "Antifragility" is the ultimate skill for 2026. We dive deep into Ben-Shahar’s latest book, Happier, No Matter What, exploring the science of whole-person well-being. Learn why "Toxic Positivity" is holding you back and how Dr. JC’s Interface Response System (Perceive, Pause, Process, Proceed) provides a tactical roadmap for emotional maturity. Whether you are navigating the pressures of the new AI-driven economy or seeking personal resilience, this conversation reframes discomfort as a prerequisite for growth. Discover the "Rainbow Effect" of happiness and how to strengthen your psychological flexibility to flourish in an era of constant uncertainty. #PositivePsychology #Antifragile #TalBenShahar #MentalHealth2026 #Wellbeing Connect With Tal: Website: https://www.happinessstudies.academy/abouttalbenshahar IG: @talhappier Dr. JC Doornick Links: Web - www.makessensebook.com YT - / @drjcdoornick IG - / @drjcdoornick FB - / @makessensepodcast Makes Sense Book - https://tinyurl.com/makessensepurchase MAKES SENSE PODCAST Welcome to the Makes Sense with Dr. JC Doornick Podcast.
