The guidebook to Happiness - don't leave your happiness to chance

In this Happiness Class Damo and Carl interview Chef and Chocolatier Cat Cannizzaro who is an amazing Raw Food Chef. You get to find out exactly what eating raw means, what it looks like and how to do it. Plus Damo and Carl talk to Cat about the philosophy behind food and what it means to each with consciousness. They also share some great ideas and insights into how we can have a better relationship to the food we eat. So it is not just about Raw Food eating, it is how to eat in a way that brings the greatest levels of health, vitality and happiness in life. In a fun way! By the way Damo likes a bit of bacon and a steak on occassion, so there are some interesting perspectives shared. We apologize for the sound of Carl's microphone. He was traveling at the time of the recording and had a slightly crappy mic. All the very best. Damo & Carl

I was recently asked a great question by a listener in the USA. Destiny asked me: "I was going to ask if possible, can he please cover things about the ego, and how to get rid of our egos to increase happiness. Thank you :)" So in this Strategic Happiness Podcast, I answer Destinty's question about how you can tame this seemingly out of control thing called the 'Ego' in order to increase your level of happiness. If you have a question you would like to ask, just go to http://www.strategichappiness.com and leave your question on the contact form or connect with me on Facebook. Have an awesome day! Cheers, Carl

I don’t know about you, but I am not using 100% of my potential. I am not living life at the top level of Carl Massy. So I am speculating that maybe you too have a few levels to go to really get things shaking and moving in your life. The other thing about going to the next level is it is hard-wired into us. We have a very real need to grow in life. To step up to the next level. Therefore if we are not growing we are also likely to feel unfulfilled. So what are the best things you (and me) can do to take ourselves up to the next elusive level of happiness, health, vitality, success and fulfillment? In this podcast I share with you what I believe are the 5 main things we all need to do to really tap into our inner greatness. Here's to your onwards and upwards journey!! Enjoy, Carl

Have you ever wondered what it was that actually lead to someone being highly successful? Do you wish you knew so you could get a bit of that success action too? Psychologists suggest that there is a real link between happiness and success as well. So in this weeks podcast I review a great book written by Richard St John called 'The 8 Traits Successful People Have in Common'. He conducted 500 interviews over 10 years and is also himself successful, so it really is an informed read. Just to give you a taste (and it is no surprise) the number 1 trait of successful people is they have PASSION!!! To find out more about the other Top 7 Traits of Highly Successful People, check out this short podcast. It may just be a life changer. Have an awesome day. Cheers Carl

You have probably heard before that meditation is good for you. Probably even been told it is great for you. But what I want to share with you in this podcast is why it is an absolute must in the modern age we are living in. Stress levels are going up. People may be living longer, but are they doing so in a healthy and vibrant body? In this podcast I will be taking the gloves off and letting you know why if you want to be a peak performer in life (or even an above average performer ;-)) you need to tap into the power of meditation. Let me truly motivate you into action by sharing with you the biggest WHY. You owe it to yourself to listen to this Strategic Happiness Podcast. Have an awesome day! Cheers, Carl

Have you ever stopped to consider the idea that emotions are everything? That it is what we feel, that matters most. It is not the new shiny red Porsche that is the big deal it is the FEELINGS that we experience as a result of owning or driving in or seeing that car. What makes us move? What makes us do anything? It is emotions. Since they are so important, I want to share with you a couple of awesomely effective but simple strategies. Last week I attended a 5-Day course on the LifeLine Technique, presented by the creator of the system - Dr Darren Weissman. To say that the course was insightful would be selling it short. I prefer to use the term - mind popping. It was simply amazing and I recommend it to anyone else - regardless if it is for you personally or to use as a professional tool with clients. It is superb! The big theme of the training and the stuff that we most need to understand for joy, success, happiness and fulfillment in life is EMOTIONS. So in this podcast I will share with you just 2 tools you can use immediately to better manage and utilise the power of your emotions. Enjoy!

It was Monday as I got ready to record a Strategic Happiness Podcast, but I just couldn't get into it. Here I was, calling myself a Happiness Strategist and I was stuck in a wee case of Monday-itis. What to do? Well the first thing was to get myself out of it, and then the next thing was to share that experience and 15 of my favorite Strategies for un-funking yourself from Monday-itis or any general 'bad' mood you might be experiencing. All 15 Un-Funking Strategies are simple, quick to apply and are surprisingly effective at creating a shift. And quit often it is just a shift we need (or in NLP we would call it a pattern interrupt) to get back on track. I also encourage you to share your own personal strategies that have worked for you. Just click on the following link here to share... Have an awesome day. Take care, Carl PS: Remember to check out 'The Guidebook to Happiness' too on Amazon (Kindle or Paperback) - to understand the biggest DO's & DON'Ts to increasing your default level of happiness.
