Dr Tim Sharp, aka Dr Happy, is a renowned leader in the field of Positive Psychology, a sought-after speaker, consultant, podcaster, spokesperson, author and the founder and Chief Happiness Officer (CHO) of The Happiness Institute. He’s achieved unparalleled success in the academic, professional and business worlds, is a proud recipient of the Future Leadership Award and, in 2011, was appointed as Australia Day Ambassador. What makes his success and impact more extraordinary, is that Dr Sharp experiences severe depression and has done most of his adult life. Before he was Dr Happy, he was Dr Miserable. In this episode we talk about speaking out, the dangers of putting on a brave face, the most effective anti-depressant (hint: not a medication), how Dr Happy manages his depression, practical ways to manage insomnia and how, metaphorically speaking, there’s a time for snuggling up, and a time for putting on a coat and getting out in the rain. So much wisdom in this episode.https://www.drhappy.com.au/https://www.instagram.com/thehappinessinstitute/https://www.facebook.com/TheHappinessInstitute/Lifeline 13 11 14https://www.lifeline.org.au/Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”Jodi is an anxiety and well-being speaker, educator, and bestselling author.
