A research-backed plan for getting your sh*t together in every possible sphere.

We're going to talk about some smart strategies today with Emma Seppälä, Ph.D. She is a psychologist and research scientist, with an expertise in the science of happiness, emotional intelligence, and social connection. She is the Science Director of Stanford University's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education and she also teaches executives at the Yale School of Management. She's been on this show before, to discuss her best-selling book The Happiness Track. And today she's back to discuss her new book, Sovereign: Reclaim Your Freedom, Energy, and Power in a Time of Distraction, Uncertainty, and Chaos.


In this episode we talk about:

  • What she means by that term, sovereign
  • The neuroscience of emotion regulation
  • The science of intuition – and how to work with it when you're a critical thinker
  • How our past can unconsciously bind us
  • The impact of trauma
  • The latest evidence for the benefits of meditation
  • And how to cultivate what scientists call Positive Relational Energy
