30. Rob Mack - Happiness is the Key to Success

Rob Mack is a happiness coach and positive psychology expert. He is a published author and television host personality. He is a host on Good Morning Lala Land and is endorsed by many celebrities for his help in finding happiness. 

In this episode, Rob takes us through his backstory of battling depression and suicide. He was raised in a happy home, although his existential angst led him to falling into a pessimistic and cynical outlook on life, which made him deeply depressed and consider suicide. Rob began to feel peace when he only seriously contemplated suicide and it was at this point that he began the mindset change of finding happiness. 

Rob found understanding through studying positive psychology, described as the study of science of what makes life worth living. This way, he was able to educate himself on his own struggle, find like minded individuals to guide him, and help relate to his experience. 

Rob truly believes that you can have everything you want if you put happiness first. He describes happiness as being health in the spirit and only true success will manifest once you choose optimism.
