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.

14. What’s Stopping You from Becoming an Artist? | Anastazja Adamczyk
In this SOLO episode of joyful. I am talking about our (I think) universal need to create, about making art, and about music -- a form of art in particular close to my heart. I discuss the links between music and emotion, and try to answer the question of whether music, and art in general, can make us happier.
I invite you to join me, while I continue to discover what happiness means to me.
Do not hesitate to reach out if anything I said resonated, or if you completely disagree with me on any of the topics! And if you've made it until the end of the episode, send me names of two songs: one which always makes you happy and one to which you listen when you're particularly miserable.
Enjoy!
