The Positive Psychology Podcast - Bringing the Science of Happiness to your Earbuds with Kristen Truempy

The Positive Psychology Podcast - Bringing the Science of Happiness to your Earbuds with Kristen Truempy

Kristen Truempy

The science of the good life, huh? Sorry this is not about booze, sex and rock n'roll (or whatever is en vogue right now). In fact we talk about a lot of things that tree huggers would love: appreciation of beauty, gratitude, positive emotions, relationships and well, love. However we, that is positive psychologists and positive psychology practitioners buried ourselves in books, set out to experiment and then write it all up in a writing style that is about as exciting to read as watching an avocado turn brown. And that's the problem: if you are not an academic you probably want a little bit more excitement, than pages and pages of densely written journals can provide. Even if you are an academic, who has time to read all the interesting stuff out there anyways? So in an effort to save your eyes taking on a comically rectangular shape the positive psychology podcast brings the science of the good life to your earbuds. It's not all treehugger style though; sometimes we might get quite serious, for example when exploring things like post-traumatic growth or positive parenting. Subscribe if you want to benefit from the scientific insights into happiness and meaning while you are on the go. Let me know where you are while you are listening to this. If you like it review it, because that's the only way other people can find it too.

For all the peeps who are not into rap but want to shake their booty to original music made by yours truly I give you

Goofballs Unite!

What’s a revolutionary thing to do?

It’s to badly dance in your truth

Unconcerned with a perfect appearance

Or propagating eternal youth

Do you remember what you didn’t do?

All in the name of being cool?

Don’t waste tonight and realise

The marketing slogans made you shy

If you look at me from behind

It’s not a twerk that you will find.

Got no idea what my ass is doing

but I am having a great time.

You’ve skipped leg day all your life

your squats are shaky

but the groove’s divine

Hit the dancefloor

don’t be shy

Goofballs ahoi, let’s unite

(Bridge)

There they are

smirking away

Eyerolls rolling

throwing shade

Sometimes they’re

just in your thoughts

They should never

call the shots

In their world

they’re the height of cool

Unless they change

they peak at school

How bizarre would it be

to let losers determine your destiny?

My jiggly bits wrote half this song

how dare I praise ‘em? That’s so wrong

Imagine me having the gall

A big girl that claims space at all

Hey I bust out of my seams

still got plenty of self-esteem

Hit the dancefloor, don’t be shy

Goofballs ahoi, let’s unite

The most revolutionary thing to do

Is to badly dance in your truth

Unconcerned with a perfect appearance

Or propagating eternal youth

When you’re connected to your bliss

How will they sell their stupid shit?

How will they keep on ruling you?

If you live the values that you choose?
