Oprah & Arthur Brooks: Build the Life You Want - Episode 1 | Oprah's Super Soul | OWN Podcasts

In Episode One of the Build the Life You Want Super Soul Podcast, Oprah and Arthur Brooks offer listeners a better understanding of the science behind happiness and why Arthur says, “Happiness is not a destination, happiness is a direction.” Together, they take questions from people across the country who have read Build the Life You Want who are curious how to apply topics from the book to their own lives. They discuss the “The Four Pillars of Happiness: Faith, Family, Friends and Work that Serves” as well as the power of metacognition which Oprah calls “one of the biggest contributions to people getting happier.” Arthur Brooks explains how using “emotional caffeine” can lead to greater happiness and how having “a better storage of emotions” can block anxiety and depression.

Disconnecting from social media and toxic family helped me tremendously.

"Social Media is THE JUNK FOOD of Social Life . "
Arthur Brooks
🔥🔥🔥

[NogaAdama]

Mother Earth wants her children to be happy, she loves us for what we are. She gives us air and water, food and fire. Without her love and nurture we could not live.
If you look at the rest of her children, the animals, the birds, the fish the trees and floers, we'll see the beauty and fulfilment that can be lived here on Earth.

I've been walking each day for 3 years straight in the mornings and it's my medicine 💜💜💜

[ConfettiTornado]

Mother Nature is the ultimate truth of life. Blossoming when the time is right, letting go peacefully when the time is right. She encourages a peaceful pace, relaxation, love, appreciation, compassion. She is an artist (just look at the leaves right now!) and the ultimate mentor we should be looking to. Using this negative language toward Mother Nature is patriarchal and unhealthy. ❤

I find great pleasure in doing things alone, especially the spa. Bringing people along usually messes up the vibe. 😂😂😂

I love when research supports the tenants of Buddhism.

Some of the most amazing and life changing trips I've taken have been solo and meeting people and having unexpected experiences along the way❤

I have a different perspective about being alone. Being alone and doing what you love brings you happiness.

Happiness is a show without commercials.

[donnajeffreys]

About a year and a half ago I totally gave up Facebook. I had gotten addicted to it !! Thought I'd miss it but instead I feel emotionally better and so glad I gave it up . YouTube is the only social media I watch now and sometimes I watch too much YouTube but I do get good information.

By adding people and memories to your pleasure you can make enjoyment

[JWoodf]

Happiness can be found during time alone as well as with others, but especially while being in and also helping to protect Mother Nature. 🙋🏻‍♀️🌱

To hear Louisiana from Oprah is Delightful 😊

"Social media is the junk food of social life"
We have to learn to use social media responsibly, this is urgent 🙏

[Anonyme]

Working remote with no interaction with colleagues is the best

[dionysus]

I follow Black Women on YT who travel alone and live alone, and they are genuinely happy. They find pride in following their dreams, exploring new places, and challenging themselves. And they are making meaningful memories. The greatest relationship you will ever have is the one with yourself. Friends and family are wonderful additions to life, but you CAN find happiness even if you are alone.

Absolutely loved this conversation with Arthur an eye opener indeed

[drea]

I’ve been wrestling with feelings of, regret and stagnation. Listening to this discussion boosted my mood and gave me the spark I needed. I look forward to purchasing and reading this book.

I absolutely love a beach walk by the ocean 🌊🌞 walking in the park on a breezy day listening to and watching the trees 🌳🌞 🌳
