Ep. 245 How To Be As Happy As A Dog with Michelle Waitzman

Dogs exude happiness. (Stay with me here!)⁣⁣

Whether or not you 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 a dog, you can probably picture one and, odds are, it’s excitedly running in circles at the sight of its leash or zooming around the park chasing a ball. ⁣⁣

Which is exactly why Michelle Waitzman started thinking about what we can learn from them to be happier, ourselves. ⁣⁣

The result is her book Be As Happy As Your Dog: 16 Dog-Tested Ways to Be Happier Using Pawsitive Psychology.  ⁣⁣

We’re chatting on the Live Diet-Free podcast about a few of those ways today — plus what not to do that dogs do!⁣⁣
