In this moment, happiness scientist and expert, Arthur C Brooks, discusses what people get wrong in their search for romantic happiness. According to Arthur, the biggest mistake people make when searching for their romantic partner is looking for an exact copy of themself. This is one of the reasons that dating apps are so unsuccessful, as their dating profile will rigidly select people with the same preferences as them, allowing no surprises and potential to experience different qualities. Instead, people are better off looking for someone who complements and completes them and their qualities. This is why many happy marriages will be between people with different qualities, such as an introvert and an extrovert. These sorts of relationships celebrated their difference rather than partners trying to change each other to be more like them, as Arthur says that this is a killer of relationshipsListen to the full episode here -Apple- https://g2ul0.app.link/FTXkeOG5PJbSpotify- https://g2ul0.app.link/8uB3oAL5PJbWatch the Episodes On Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/c/%20TheDiaryOfACEO/videosArthur C Brooks: https://arthurbrooks.com/Learn more about your ad choices.

In this moment, world renowned mentor and writer, Africa Brooke discusses how the idea of personal accountability has been hijacked. She says that all too often people can pass up on accepting responsibility and instead blame others for their misfortune and see themself as a constant victim. However, Africa says that the idea of accountability is actually a way of giving power, freedom, and control back to people, as they realise there is always something they are able to do to change their situation. Once they realise this, people gain resilience for future tough times, as they know that no matter the situation they have the ability to control how they move forward in life.Listen to the full episode here - Apple- https://g2ul0.app.link/b9OPSNaGEJbSpotify - https://g2ul0.app.link/TIVYc9ZjNuWatch the Episodes On Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/c/%20TheDiaryOfACEO/videosAfrica: https://africabrooke.com/Learn more about your ad choices.

In this moment, world-leading wellness expert Gary Brecka explains the fundamental relationship between our mental and our gut health. For years people have thought that their anxiety and depression are either all in their head or a product of their environment, however, Gary says the gut is the crucial hub for mental well-being. He believes that our gut functions like an assembly line. If anything disrupts its pace or workings, the wider factory of our body and mind is at risk.
