    The Opposite of Depression | Samantha Boardman

    The Opposite of Depression | Samantha Boardman

    Depression is a debilitating problem both on an individual and a societal level and it has only gotten worse during the pandemic. According to the World Health Organization, depression is now one of the leading causes of disability on the planet. 


    Our guest today Dr. Samantha Boardman is going to talk about what she calls the opposite of depression— something called positive psychiatry. This approach focuses on the positive things in the lives of her patients rather than just the pathologies. 


    Boardman is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College, which is also where she went to medical school and did her four year residency program. She later went back and got a Master’s degree in Applied Positive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. She recently put out a book called Everyday Vitality: Turning Stress into Strength



    In this episode we talked about:

    • The 3 C’s (factors contributing to vitality)
    • The notion that our understanding of happiness does not have to be internally oriented
    • How not all socializing is created equal
    • Why identifying your values is important  
    • The value of hobbies
    • The flake factor
    • And the value of failure

    551: How to Live a Happy Life with Dr. Marc Schulz

    In 1938 the Harvard Study of Adult Development began. It followed the lives of 268 Harvard students and 456 inner city kids in Boston, and remains the largest, longest study of its kind, gathering data on physical health, mental health, personality, and social connections. The study's findings have served as the basis for an impressive body of work on lifestyle fulfillment and happiness, and my guest on this week’s podcast has co-authored a book highlighting his learnings.

    Listen and learn:

    • Why loneliness is one of the greatest risk factors for an unhappy and unhealthy life
    • Why social fitness should be given the same priority as physical fitness
    • How war, hardship and adversity can provide a sense of community that leads toward happiness and contentment
    • Why 20 to 40 percent of the population admit to feeling isolated and lonely
    • Creative strategies to build connections at any age

    The Go-Giver Marriage with John David & Ana Gabriel Mann

    The Go-Giver Marriage with John David & Ana Gabriel Mann
    In this Aging GreatFULLy power-hour of enlightYOUment, we discuss an important topic to everyone—relationships! So often relationships can feel like two ships that pass in the night verses two ships anchored side by side in the harbor. And at the core of our relationships can be marriage.
    With that, we welcome the coauthor of more than thirty books, John David Mann, including four New York Times bestsellers and five national bestsellers; his classic 2008 parable The Go-Giver (coauthored with Bob Burg) selling over 1 million copies and earned the 2017 Living Now Book Award’s “Evergreen Medal” given for its “contribution to positive global change.”
    But John David Mann’s latest work involved a different partner of the pen, his life partner and partner in marriage, Ana Gabriel Mann, M.A., and together, they created The Go-Giver Marriage: A Little Story About the 5 Secrets to Lasting Love. Together they weaved their wisdom, unique strengths and experiences to create The Go-Giver Marriage to be a book like no other!
    Over the years since the original book’s publication, the term “go-giver” has become shorthand for a defining set of values that has helped hundreds of thousands of people around the world find greater professional success. Now, with its charming fable-within-a-parable, followed by an in-depth practical guide, The Go-Giver Marriage brings the personal side of The Go-Giver to life.
    For more than a decade, readers of the bestselling Go-Giver series have been clamoring for a book on how to apply the philosophy at the heart of The Go-Giver to their personal relationships. From the original story’s coauthor, John, who is a well-known and gifted storyteller, and his wife, Ana, a clinically trained educator and therapist, this long-awaited sequel shows readers how to unlock a deeply satisfying, abundant relationship based on simple, everyday acts of generosity.
    You’ll enjoy the entire hour as John and Ana share how to improve your marriage by focusing on your own mindset, and how you bring yourself to the relationship. They discuss how one simple practice can transform your relationship and create positive, lasting change in as little as a week or two. They remind us to drop the score card, and alternatively, build a “things-I-love-about-you” list that can transform the quality of your marriage and so much more you won’t want to miss! They also share their favorite secrets to lasting love but you’ll have to listen to find out what they are!
    Ana Gabriel Mann earned her degree in clinical psychology before going on to serve as a celebrated educator, therapist, corporate trainer, speaker, and coach. She currently coaches Go-Giver Marriage clients and leads the Go-Giver Marriage Coaches Training Program, training coaches from around the globe. Together, Ana and John host The Go-Giver Marriage Living the Secrets of Lasting Love Workshops, to learn more, reach out at workshop@gogivermarriage.com.
