Holidays, Headaches & Heartache: Best Advice from the “Happiness Doctor”

Originally broadcast December 26, 2024

Dr. Amit Sood is called the “Happiness Doctor” for a good reason; his resilience approach has been included in over 35 clinical trials. The holiday season, occurring right after an intense election, is an ideal time to learn from Dr. Sood about how to recognize stress and reprogram the brain to deal with it. One of his top pieces of advice: Ask yourself if what is upsetting you will matter in five years? If the answer is no, let it go.

Dr. Sood is the CEO of Global Center for Resiliency and Wellbeing, the former chair of Student Life and Wellness at Mayo Clinic, and the author of the new book “ “It Takes You to Tango: Leverage the Science of Loneliness to Master the Art of Connection.” Join Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter for this insightful conversation that will help us all navigate negative thinking.
