Happiness: An Incremental Thing

As the host of the podcast GrowthIsland, Mads talked a bit of his own experience regarding the many tips and tricks imparted to him by guests. Because the common theme of the show lies in self-development, Mads' guests vary in field. From professors, psychologists, coaches, to entrepreneurs, GrowthIsland has heard it all from everyone. Despite that, Mads admits that he can't help but sometimes want more wisdom from guests. When he asks questions like, "what advice can you give to achieve happiness?" often, the answer is elementary. He can't help but want more than just hearing stuff like 'be easy on yourself.' He needed more; until it really hit him. Sometimes, we just overcomplicate things. Mads realized that the pursuit of happiness starts with what's fundamental. True enough, happiness would be tough to achieve if one only sleeps five hours a night. That's fundamental!

About Mads Friis:

Mads is a happy camper who tries to live life to the fullest. He has always been interested in personal growth and high performance, from playing different sports at a high level from a younger age to discovering books by the Dalai Lama to Anthony Robbins. The journey led to Mads completing a Bachelor in Business and Psychology at Copenhagen Business School and a Master with a semester studying Psychology at Harvard University.

In his extensive research, Mads has found that many of the resources focus 80% on the problems we are facing and only 20% on the solutions. He wants to flip this statistic around. The constant curiosity to learn more and desire to contribute to a more positive and fun way of learning about these subjects is what drives most of his work.
