If the holidays or New Year left you feeling busy but not fulfilled, this conversation brings you back to what matters.\nThis episode is for anyone craving steadier inner peace, deeper connection, and a more grounded definition of joy. Larry shares how a 2012 trip to rural Uganda reshaped his view of success, why joy is not dependent on circumstances, and how simple awareness can shift your relationship with anxiety, grief, and self-talk.\nAbout the Guest:\nLarry Kesslin is an entrepreneur and coach who has studied human joy across cultures for 13 years. After a transformative 2012 trip to rural Uganda, he created the \u201cJoy Molecule\u201d framework, centered on knowing what you are, who you are, and why you are here.\nKey Takeaways:\n\n\nUse your breath as a daily anchor to return to the present.\n\n\nStart change by noticing when you are not present.\n\n\nRedefine success beyond freedom, include service and significance.\n\n\nSeparate thoughts from identity: thoughts are data, not you.\n\n\nBuild conscious connection with self first, then others.\n\n\nHow to Connect With the Guest:\nWebsite: https://www.5-dots.com/\u00a0Email: larry@kesslin.com\nWant to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life/The Mindful Living?
