About this episode

Darren Hardy discusses a five-part model for happiness and well-being based on the work of Martin Seligman.

Humans are wired to be negative. The ancestors who patted the sabertooth tiger on the head didn't survive to pass on their genes. In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy draws on Martin Seligman, the father of positive psychology, to break down his five-part model for happiness, well-being, and human flourishing. Each key names something most high achievers chase by accident, from positive emotion to deep engagement to meaning. Darren offers practical ways to strengthen each one, from conditioning optimism to finding your superpower to connecting your work to something bigger than yourself.
