Episode 1. What Makes People Happy? - Spider Chart

Question:

Can we make a podcast?

Title for the podcast is based on a story about John Lennon where he told his teacher that she didn't understand life.
People are happy when they spend time being around other people with whom they enjoy being around
Deep relationships are what really matter, not just the number of people you know
Schedule time to be around other people you enjoy. It's worth the effort
Make friends with your co-workers by scheduling time with them to create a deeper relationship
Most people try to be happy by accomplishing things. This does work but only for a short amount of time; then it wears off
Using a "spider chart" (see below) helps people to focus on all the important aspects of life and not just one
It's hard to focus on all 7 aspects of life at the same time
Every choice that we make has side effects: making us happy in one dimension but also less happy in other dimensions
Saying "Yes" to one thing means you are saying "No" to someone else
Decision making is hard because we are given time constraints on decisions, so we cannot think about how every decision effects every dimension of our lives
