Game Changers: Tal Ben-Shahar's Tips for Happiness and Good Mental Health
Author and lecturer Tal Ben-Shahar has spent his exceptional career researching and promoting positive psychology, which makes him an ideal person to discuss the Covid-19 emotional rollercoaster.
In the latest Game Changers episode, Tal talks to Noam Weissman about mental health awareness and mindfulness. He explains why people need to give themselves permission to be human, the reason relationships (even long distance ones) are the number one factor in our wellbeing, and why doing something good for others is key to lifting ourselves up when challenges hit.
