Episode notes

Welcome to episode nr 30 of The Coffee Journeys Show: Four Types of Happiness: How Much is Really in Your Control?

In this episode we’re diving into a powerful perspective on happiness. Is happiness something that just happens by chance, or can we actually make it happen?


Drawing on the ideas of neuroscientist Dr. James H. Austin, we’ll explore the four types of “chance” that contribute to happiness:

  • blind luck,
  • happiness from action,
  • happiness from preparation, and
  • happiness from uniqueness.


Each type of happiness has its own role, but some are more within our control than others.


Join us as we unpack these insights and discuss how you can take intentional steps to create more happiness in your life. Whether you’re a leader looking to cultivate joy within your team or someone aiming to increase personal fulfilment, this episode is a practical guide to understanding and influencing your own happiness.
