The Science of Happiness: How Hope, Hunger, and a Simple Formula Can Redefine Your Financial Life with Dr. Alphonsus Obayuwana

What if happiness isn’t just a feeling — but a formula? In this mind-expanding episode, I sit down with Dr. Alphonsus Obayuwana — physician, scientist, happiness coach, and founder of the Triple-H Project — to break down his 30+ years of research into human hope, emotional well-being, and what really drives lasting happiness. We are discussing his new book: The Happiness Formula. He introduces the groundbreaking Triple-H Equation: Hope over Hunger = Happiness — and explains how it can reshape your relationship with money, your goals, and your emotional peace. You'll walk away learning: How happiness and hope are scientifically connected — and why one can't exist without the other What the five “human hungers” are and how they silently shape your financial stress How to calculate your Personal Happiness Index — and what your score says about your well-being Why people with financial success still feel unfulfilled — and how to change that Practical ways to increase your hope and reduce your emotional “hunger” starting today Why measuring your happiness is the key to improving it This is one of the most profound conversations I’ve had — and one that could completely reframe how you think about wealth, success, and peace of mind.
