In this episode, we’re diving into an incredibly profound and deeply personal journey with Robert Mack, an Ivy League-educated Positive Psychology Expert, Celebrity Happiness Coach, and author.

UPenn is the only institution in the world offering a Master's degree in Applied Positive Psychology, and Robert is one of the leading voices in understanding the connection between happiness and success.

But what makes Robert’s story extraordinary is his journey from despair to hope, from contemplating ending his life to becoming a beacon of positivity and resilience. Robert shares his raw and unfiltered account of being deeply unhappy from an early age, battling severe anxiety and self-loathing, and reaching a point where he considered suicide as the only way out.

Yet, in his darkest moment—knife in hand—something remarkable happened. Robert describes an overwhelming sense of peace, love, and joy washing over him, a feeling so profound that it stopped him in his tracks. He refers to this as a "divine intervention," a moment that shifted his perspective and inspired him to dig deeper into the science and spirituality of happiness.

Robert’s story is not just about his struggles but about the incredible transformation that followed. Through research, self-discovery, and faith in something greater than himself, he found a way to rewrite his narrative. Now, he dedicates his life to helping others find their own happiness and purpose.

Whether you’ve struggled with dark moments or are simply seeking inspiration to live a more fulfilling life, this episode is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of finding light even in the darkest of times. Tune in for a conversation that is as raw and real as it is uplifting.
