Everybody knows, what makes them happy and how to achieve happiness through various routines of selfcare. But what does selfcare mean for others? How is selfcare perceived throughout different age groups? Those questions were the foundation of our Podcast “Treat Yourself!” and the somewhat surprising answers have been discussed. So, treat yourself to a short overview of what makes other people achieve their personal happiness!

Essentialism & Spending Habits – What Leads To a Happy Life?
“Material Boy” is your new favorite podcast to listen to when you’re in need of a Pop Culture Update, new Fashion Inspo, or a Lifestyle Guide!
In this week’s episode, our host Thiemo sits down with famous writer Pegah Ghashghaei and famous YouTuber/Social Media Personality Cassidy Chase to discuss essentialism and whether material things actually lead to a more fulfilling life.

Mindful mind, happy mind
Are you present?
Do you value each moment as you come across it, or do you feel as though you are stuck in your head, paying attention to something else? We all end up there sometimes, but we don’t have to. Mindfulness is what you’re looking for, a way to take in your surroundings and appreciate them more profoundly. We’re here to give you a few ideas on how you might achieve that and why exactly it is so important for your happiness and well-being. You’ll learn about the effects of meditation and the benefits of gratitude; all you need is to take 5 minutes out of your day to do something kind for yourself.

Mental Station
Social Media. The phenomenon that pulled most of us in like a vacuum, tends to be underestimated when it comes to its impact on our minds. In this weeks discussion I sat down with two opinions as different as the poles to discuss the good, the bad and the dirty. x Julia

How to be happy
Why is happiness so important to our lives? And what makes it so hard to achieve?
In this podcast episode of “How to be happy” Natalia and Jennifer sit down to discuss the science and meaning of happiness.
Society’s influence on happiness
In this podcast, we wanted to deal with the topic of happiness in society.
Society can strongly influence our happiness, sadly mostly negatively. This idea may seem rather well known to most people, but it still bears saying. However, since no one cannot live outside of society, you have to adapt. This can be done in many different ways – which we discuss in this podcast.
A Journal Filled With Happiness
Happiness isn’t always easy to find. Your hosts Mizgin and Imran are here to tell you how the simple act of keeping a bullet journal is going to help you find happiness. Whether you want to find out more about the science of happiness or just want to know how a gratitude journal can influence your
happiness, this is the podcast for you.
