Agapi Stassinopoulos – Wake Up To The Joy of You

Aired Wednesday, 1 February 2017, 8:00 PM ET

Inscribed in the forecourt of the Temple of Apollo in Delphi is the ancient Greek maxim, “Gnothi Seauton” or “Know Thyself”. How many of us really know ourselves? How many of us measure our happiness and the very nature of our existence by the external forces in our lives like relationships, family, social connections, and careers. Is there a way to really know ourselves and find inner happiness, self-love and balance? My guest this week, Agapi Stassinopoulos says there is and shares the path she has found in her new book, Wake Up To The Joy of You: 52 Meditations And Practices For a Calmer, Happier Life.
