20 Jan 2023Maggie Hamilton: Loneliness | Sero Boost #1001:11:38

We might think that being alone and feeling lonely is the same thing, when they are, indeed, two different things. Being alone can mean choosing to be alone, doing the things we love, and finding joy in these things. However, when it comes to loneliness, it’s feeling disconnected from everyone around us. If you’ve ever felt a lack of social connection or even felt isolated, this might be a sign that you are in a state of loneliness. 

In this episode of Sero Boost: The Happiness Science Insights Podcast, host Aditi Kutty is joined by Maggie Hamilton, a writer, speaker, and keen observer of social trends. Her books, published in over 12 countries worldwide, include What Men Don’t Talk About, about the lives of real men and boys; What’s Happening to Our Girls? and What’s Happening to Our Boys? which look at the issues our kids face and workable solutions; When We Become Strangers, intimate snapshots around the landscape of loneliness, and the many unexpected ways loneliness leaks into our lives, and how to do things better and differently; and What Happens To Our Kids When We Fail to Grow Up, how to recognise the child in us and others comes out to play, and how best to equip ourselves (and our kids) for the future.

In this podcast, Maggie talked about how she defines loneliness and how loneliness is linked to one’s happiness. Moreover, she also shared tips, especially for young adults who are most likely to feel loneliness, and how to deal with loneliness.

14 Mar 2025Assoc. Prof. Matthew Hammerton: Why Meaning Matters for True Happiness | Sero Boost #7401:04:08

In a world obsessed with quick fixes and temporary pleasures, what if true happiness is actually about something far more profound? This week on Sero Boost: The Happiness Science Insights Podcast, host Sabrina Oktavelia interviews psychology Assoc. Prof. Matthew Hammerton on what makes life worth living.

Having joined Singapore Management University in 2018, Assoc. Prof. Matthew Hammerton specializes in moral philosophy. His work covers a myriad of topics, including consequentialism, deontology, virtue ethics, meaning in life, and moral reasoning, that explores different categories of value that are important for living a good life and acting ethically. Currently, he is writing a monograph on work and its relation to meaning in life.

In this episode, Assoc. Prof. Matthew Hammerton highlights that happiness contains two meanings, referring to either a positive psychological state, or the idea that one has obtained the ‘ultimate’ status or objects in life, and that the two are often conflated. He adds that people may realize their meaning in life through various domains, be it work, community, or relationships.

Together, Sabrina and Assoc. Prof. Matthew Hammerton discuss the importance of taking a step back from the routine obligations of life to reflect on one’s goals and values. So, whether you’re feeling stuck, searching for more, or simply curious about the human experience and society’s notion of happiness, tune in to this episode for eye-opening and thought-provoking perspectives on happiness!

We understand negative emotions as having a sense of unpleasantness that negatively affects our body and mind. Those could be fear, anger, anxiety, insecurity, jealousy, and many more. However, these emotions can have a similar hold amongst our children. Many of us know that children are observant. They can learn and process all the things that occur to their surroundings, including negative emotions that they might notice from the people around them. 

In this episode of Sero Boost: The Happiness Science Insights Podcast, host Lu Ngo is joined by mental health expert, Dr. Essam Daod. Dr. Daod is a trained psychiatrist and psychotherapist who provides emergency mental health interventions to displaced children and their families so they can transform their trauma into a source of growth. In 2015, he flew to Greece for what became a humanitarian rescue mission, where he co-founded Humanity Crew and has been working with refugees ever since. He has spoken at countless conferences and media outlets worldwide, advocating for the importance of mental health support for child refugees and people in crises.

The conversation is started by getting to know Dr. Essam Daod through his favorite book and then going to the core of the discussion by sharing his insights on negative emotions that affect children. He will also share tips for all the parents on how to deal with negative emotions among children.

28 Oct 2022Corey Jackson: Negative Emotions | Sero Boost #301:34:47

Everyone must have felt those unpleasant and unhappy emotions, or as we label them negative emotions, at least a few times in our lives, if not many. To manage our level of happiness, it's important for us to understand how those emotions work from a scientific perspective. Once we understand how they work and how they can affect our lives, we can learn to effectively deal with them.

In this episode of Sero Boost: The Happiness Science Insights Podcast, host Lu Ngo is joined by Corey Jackson, who shares his expertise on negative emotions and how to manage them. Corey is a self-care & stress management coach, burnout prevention coach, and mental health researcher. His Ph.D. research work underlies the causes of anxiety, depression, and emotional dysfunction. His research is the culmination of a degree in Psychology and Sanskrit plus more than twenty years of studying and translating Buddhist philosophy from Tibetan to English. Comfortable in a research lab or mountain monastery, Corey’s work and research sit at the intersection of scientific and contemplative traditions. These days, he works as a meditation teacher, emotion, and stress management coach.

With his expertise, Corey sheds light on the science behind negative emotions and how they affect our level of happiness. An interesting insight that most of us might miss is the fact that negative emotions are sign posts to help us identify important things that we need to pay attention to in our lives. We actually need to have negative emotions in our lives to not only enjoy the positive ones, but also reason our way through different challenges in lives. He shares tips on how we can take a different angle on identifying and addressing these tough emotions in a way that helps us to thrive.

Have you ever taken a moment to contemplate the enigma of consciousness? That mysterious and ever-present force that underpins every thought, emotion, and perception in our lives?
