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

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?
