In this milestone 100th episode of What’s Possible, host Ilene Schaffer sits down with author, positive psychology coach, and happiness expert Robert Mack to find out what it really takes to be happy, and why leaders can’t afford to wait until life is perfect to start.

Author of Happiness from the Inside Out, Love from the Inside Out, Robert shares his own journey from depression to deep joy and his 4 AM morning routine. Plus, you’ll get his insights on the concept of “peaceful aliveness,” which is a state of inner health and vitality that isn’t dependent on external circumstances. Together, Ilene and Robert share practical strategies to help you thrive at work and in life, including:

• How to identify your “happiness islands” and “happiness deserts”
• Why starting and ending activities on a positive note boosts energy and performance
• Simple breathwork practices to manage stress and sharpen presence
• Why prioritizing happiness enhances professional success rather than compromising it

If you’ve been feeling stressed, burned out, or like joy has taken a back seat, this episode is your reminder, and your roadmap, to making happiness a daily practice.

Listen now to celebrate our 100th episode and discover what’s possible when you choose happiness first.
