About this episode

Dr. Andy Cope discusses the importance of happiness and positive energy in our lives.

Our guest this week is wellbeing expert, bestselling author, keynote speaker and “doctor in happiness” - Andy Cope. Andy really does have a PhD in happiness and after spending just an hour with him, our days already felt brighter. That ripple effect is a big part of what Andy talks about, how just a few people with positive energy, giving just a few minutes of their time, can make a huge difference at work and at home. We also discuss mindfulness, the Japanese phrase "ichi-go ichi-e" (for this time only), and noticing the positives. It was also Andy who introduced us to the concept of the seven-second hug. If you’ve listened to the podcast before, you’ll almost certainly have heard us mention it!
