Could you be happier, even if nothing in the world around you changed?

Andy puts the question to two of the Art of Brilliance trainers, Nikki Ayles and Kev House, in Episode 2 of the new series - and what follows is the most honest 25 minutes you'll spend this week.

All three of them, by their own admission, would have said no a few years ago. The thinking went... my happiness is out there somewhere - in the next promotion, the holiday, the perfect Tuesday - and when life finally bends itself into the right shape, I'll catch up with it. Robert Holden calls this the WAIT problem. Most of us call it normal.

But somewhere along the way, all three of them changed their minds. And that's what this episode is really about.

How they did it. What it cost. And the very ordinary moments - pushing a trolley round Tesco's in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, sitting down for tea with your kids, going for a walk and not looking at your phone - that turned out to be the turning points.

In this episode:

  • Andy's epiphany in the cereal aisle: "everywhere I go, I'm there"
  • Nikki on Three Good Things, and what changed when she started doing it on purpose with her kids at the dinner table
  • Kev on the active process - and why he stopped waiting for life to happen to him
  • Why even the best advice won't land until you're ready to hear it
  • Barbara Fredrickson's broaden-and-build: how happiness right now changes how you see your past and your future
  • Andy's question that we couldn't stop thinking about: Are we all suffering from human zoochosis?
  • Three different definitions of "happy" - including the calm, contented version that doesn't get a podcast deal
  • Three top tips for getting a bit more of the good stuff (one of which is: get comfortable feeling uncomfortable)

If Episode 1 was about whether wellbeing tips actually work, this one goes a layer deeper... whether happiness itself is something you're waiting for or something you're doing.

Take what works, leave what doesn't, enjoy.
