Welcome back to the NLP UK Training podcast! Hosted by NLP Trainers Steve Kay and Kali Fraser from NLPUKTraining.com – a leading provider of NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner certification in the UK.

In this episode, Kali sits down with Dr Andy Cope – the “Doctor of Happiness” and founder of Art of Brilliance – to ask a powerful question… is the pressure to be happy actually making us less happy? Together they explore why nobody can or should be upbeat all the time, why so-called negative emotions are vital signals, and how our modern environment – from constant busyness to screen addiction – can leave us feeling like animals in a human zoo. Expect honest insight into what happiness is and why attention has become our most precious resource.

Then they turn to action. Andy shares three refreshingly simple habits – shinrin-yoku (immersing yourself in nature), flipping the script by rolling your eyes only when good things happen, and niksen – the Dutch art of doing absolutely nothing.

It’s an inspiring, down-to-earth conversation that reminds us how to slow down, reconnect, and rediscover what feeling good really means.
