joyful.
Welcome to joyful.
My name is Anastazja. I am a PhD student in Psychology and joyful. is my personal project, where I share my thoughts, and talk with experts, on science-related topics.
The mission of joyful. is to share information which can increase the levels of happiness in your life, and which I hope will eventually develop into a larger project focused on spreading the joy around.
In the podcast you can find two types of episodes: Guest Series and Solo Episodes. In Guest Series, I engage in conversations with scientists, economists, psychologists, lecturers, entrepreneurs and more, to ask about their angle and expertise in domains which contribute to our overall happiness levels. In Solo Episodes, I am talking about topics related to one of the 5 happiness pillars of happiness that I've created at joyful:
- taking care of your mental and physical health
- building healthy relationships
- seeing and breathing beauty
- finding purpose and meaning
- being kind
Are you ready?
Today is a perfect day to become joyful. with us.

1. Who are you? | Anastazja Adamczyk (former Healthy Habits)
(Former Healthy Habits Podcast)
I invite you to reflect upon who you are and what makes you, you. In describing how our memory impacts our sense of self, I bring up the works of scientists from the domains of neuroscience and psychology, which shed light on the understanding on how we create the beliefs we have about ourselves and, most importantly, how we can change them.
-> What Is a Self-Concept?
-> How Does Memory Shape Our Sense of Self?
-> Are We All Guilty of Crafting Our Past?
-> What's Behind Our Brains 'Cherry-Picking' Memories?
-> Did He Really Mean What He Did? Mistakes and Automatic Behaviours.
CHALLENGE #1:
- Why am I here?
- What can I bring to the world?
- When am I the happiest?
