#5: The Four Pillars of Happiness - Tips for cultivating happiness at work and in life.

I have been a firm believer in the benefits of mindfulness for over 40 years now and in my book, “The Black Belt Investor”, I talk about how the 2008 – 2009 financial crisis was a turning point in my meditation practice….I finally became a regular meditator, to help deal with all my stress.

Since that time, I have cultivated many friendships in the consciousness space.  A few years ago, I had the good fortune of meeting todays podcast guest Carl Lemieux, the founder of the leadership and well-being consultancy “Mindsmatter”.

Carl Lemieux is an author, workplace psychologist, management consultant (EMBA), executive coach, psychotherapist (OPQ), and mindfulness teacher (MBSR).

Over his 35-year career, Carl has supported the design of corporate strategy and complex transformation initiatives, as well as coached and developed thousands of leaders and professionals. He is also co-author of a new book: “Vertical Growth”.

  • Carl tells his story of how he quit the corporate life. [03:13]
  • Authenticity and intention as a means of finding happiness. [05:57]
  • How self-awareness and self regulation is the starting point of Vertical Growth.[10:42]
  • Algorithms of the mind and mental programming. [13:44]
  • How to develop mindfulness in a realistic accessible way. [17:38]
  • The importance of the quality of our relationships to our overall well-being. [25:44]
