In this Breaking Normal Podcast episode, Daniel Eisenman sits down with Ashish Kothari, the CEO of Happiness Squad (https://happinesssquad.com), to explore what it really means to be “hardwired for happiness.”
From Vipassana retreats to neuroscience and mysticism, Ashish unpacks why even billionaires struggle with joy — and how to shift from fear to freedom, from knowing to doing, and from doing to being.
They dive deep into:
🌦️ Making your own weather
🔥 The art of suffering well
🌲 Forest bathing & habit building
💫 Why gratitude is the gateway to more
💭 Deja vu, mindfulness, and the biology of joy
💔 How giving beyond your capacity can turn the receiver into a thief
Ashish shares how his own “accidental awakening” from anxiety led him to fuse psychology, neuroscience, and ancient wisdom into a practical roadmap for flourishing — not just surviving.
🎧 Tune in, breathe deep, and remember: happiness isn’t something to chase… it’s something to remember.
