Breaking Free From Unhappiness Habits to Reclaim Happiness

Stress and burnout aren’t inevitable—they’re symptoms of how we’ve been working. Habits like juggling too many tasks, always staying connected, and back-to-back meetings have become so routine that we hardly question them anymore. But these habits are taking a toll on our happiness and well-being. 

In this episode of the HAPPINESS SQUAD Podcast, Ashish Kothari, Founder of Happiness Squad, explores the hidden costs of these behaviors, the drivers behind them, and how we can build a more intentional, fulfilling approach to work.


Things you will learn in this episode:


• Understanding the myth of multitasking

• Breaking free from the need to always stay connected

• How to plan and execute efficient meetings


It’s time we stop wearing busyness as a badge of honor and start building habits that make us more resilient, adaptable, and—above all—happier.
