Everyone wants to be authentic. You want to be true to yourself, not a slavish follower of social expectations. You want to “live your best life,” pursuing your particular desires, rather than falling in line with whatever everyone else thinks happiness requires. Studies have even shown that feelings of authenticity can go hand in hand with numerous psychological and social benefits: higher self-esteem, greater well-being, better romantic relationships and enhanced work performance. In today's episode I speak to changemaker and happiness consultant Samantha Clarke, who is on a mission to build robust changemakers out of the next generation of leaders. Her philosophies and neuroscience, therapeutic and positive psychology led processes instil resilience, deep wellbeing and strength to give her clients the power, intentionality and courage to do important work in the world. Through the key drivers of happiness and purpose, she inspires everyone she meets to innovate their lives and be their best selves.   ? This week's sponsor: @Minami-health ?
