175: The Science of the Good Life

Emiliya Zhivotovskaya, who holds a Master’s degree in applied positive psychology and is the founder of The Flourishing Center (which offers a certificate in applied positive psychology) shares what positive psychology is and how it came to be. Kari and Emiliya discuss how research can be “me”-search, mindfulness, the science of well-being, learned hopefulness, physical pain versus social pain, plus activity “hacks.” Serena Marie, RD, shares why bulletproof coffee is not a balanced meal and information to keep in mind when consuming it.

2017 is the year of the Flourishing Experiment! If you’d like to join a group to help you with your habits and resolutions, or create a Flourishing Experiment yourself, reach out to Kari at [email protected] for more information.
