In this episode, Janice Kaplan explores the happiness formula and how to use your body to transform your mind. She discusses the powerful connection between our bodies and our minds. Drawing from her latest book, What Your Body Knows About Happiness, Janice shares groundbreaking research on how our physical state directly influences our emotions, thoughts, and overall well-being. You'll discover how simple bodily changes—like posture, movement, and even temperature—can dramatically impact our happiness.

Key Takeaways:
How your body sends signals to your brain that shape your emotions
Why small physical changes (like sitting up straight or smiling) can boost your mood
The surprising ways environment and sensory input influence perception and behavior
How chronic pain can be “rewired” in the brain and why movement is key to relief
The underestimated power of touch and human connection in emotional well-being
Why new experiences—no matter how small—can dramatically improve happiness
