Hi Friend, and welcome to the Idea of Us. A Podcast that highlights good by interviewing great minds and learning best practices. We discuss the big questions: What and who is us? What is good, and how much good is good? Also, what does it mean if we truly care for each other? In this episode, I have the honor to speak with Mahmoud Khedr about the real meaning of happiness. I saw Mahmoud's Ted Talk and was so inspired and touched by it. He spoke about Toxic Positivity and the struggle that comes with it, and it resonated with me deeply. I will provide resources in the show notes. From the moment that I heard him speak, I knew that I needed to reach out to him to see if I can interview him for the Idea of Us, and luckily, he said yes. Mahmoud is a proud Egyptian, Muslim, Social Entrepreneur, and Ted Speaker, and we will discuss today the real meaning of happiness. And if we take a moment and think about it, the concept of happiness is more complex than we think. What is happiness? What does it take to be truly happy, and should we pursue happiness in the first place? In this episode, you can look forward to Mahmoud's inspiring story and where he also shares so many valuable aspects and insights into happiness.
