joyful.
Welcome to joyful.
My name is Anastazja and I am a PhD student in Psychology. Joyful. is my personal project, in which I share my thoughts and talk with experts about happiness.
The mission of joyful. is to share stories and knowledge that can help the listeners lead a happier life. I hope that this podcast will create a community of people engaged in making the world a better place, and that this initiative will one day develop into a larger project spreading the joy around the world.
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 other inspiring people, to ask about their angle and expertise in domains which contribute to our overall happiness levels. In the 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 me.

10. (Almost) Everything I have to say about gratitude. | Anastazja Adamczyk
In this SOLO episode I discuss gratitude. A never-ending topic in every book or podcast, that wants to be a part of the „happiness and wellbeing" category. And well, if I want to call my podcast one that’s about happiness, how could I not mention gratitude, right? I could probably skip it. This topic honestly drives me up the wall! But here I am, accepting the challenge, picking up the gauntlet, throwing myself into a gratitude well to talk about it from my own perspective. Do you care to join?
