Today, I’m bringing you an incredible conversation with my dear friend, Yaniv Shanti, a true happiness activist and founder of a school of happiness in Costa Rica. If you’ve ever felt like happiness is something just out of reach—like you’re constantly chasing it but never quite arriving—this episode is for you.

We’re breaking down the biggest misconceptions about happiness, why self-acceptance is the key to truly experiencing joy, and how you can train your happiness muscles every day. If you’re someone who finds yourself thinking, I’ll be happy when... or struggles to be present in the moment, then trust me—this conversation will change the way you see happiness forever.
