This beautiful edition with Dr. Nico Rose is all about happiness. “Positive psychology”, one of his core topics, deals with the positive aspects of being human and helps us to get a little closer to our own sense of happiness. If you are unsure, you can even measure happiness. He has already done this himself and therefore knows what heavy metal can have to do with the happiness of its fans and reveals whether they are happier or unhappier than, for example, pop or pop fans.
Of course, the podcast is not just about music. Positive psychology is actually also an excellent tool for managers. An end to the familiar, for example as part of a change project, often results in classic grief for those affected. In order to guide employees through this phase back to greater happiness, shared rites of passage can help. Rose explains how this works and the value of an ice cream cemetery, for example.
