Short excerpt from a Radical Responsibility podcast interview with Barbara Fredrickson about positive emotions. Fredrickson argues that everyday, mild, fleeting moments (e.g., pausing to notice a bird) — not intense peak experiences — are the primary drivers of wellbeing and health; the practice is finding, recognizing, and appreciating these small moments.

That's the picture we always get of joy. You know, that there's just this, some really extreme, you know, able bodied joy that, you know, only certain people can reach. And we're talking about just like, oh, take a break and look at the bird. You know, just very small, mild and fleeting things. That's what drives well being and health. It's not the intensity, it's just the finding and recognizing and appreciating the everydayness and the mild versions, that's what's most important.
