Listen to Dr. Andrea Polard interview

Please join me on June 27th at 6:30 pm, EST. (3:30 pm PST.) and my illustrious guest, the celebrated Psychologist, teacher, and author, Andrea Polard PsyD. We will be having an in-depth and informative discussion with Dr. Polard about the meaning of true happiness, and a life in equilibrium, through the teachings of her outstanding, breakout book "A Unified Theory of Happiness: An East-Meets-West Approach to Fully Loving Your Life" published by Sounds True.

A licensed Psychologist, Dr. Andrea F. Polard's mission is to help abolish unnecessary suffering and promote happiness in the capacity of a Zen Psychologist (based on Clinical Psychology, combined with mindfulness, meditation, compassion, and Zen), writer, and teacher. Her phenomenal book: "A Unified Theory of Happiness: An East-Meets-West Approach to Fully Loving Your Life" will help you to bring new insight and clarity into your thoughts and feelings, and therefore, more happiness into your life.

In Dr. Polard's own words, "When we view happiness as a buildup of happy feelings, seeking such happiness actually leaves us empty. Alternatively, happiness seen as full life participation is fulfilling. Published by Sounds True in April 2012, A Unified Theory of Happiness: An East-Meets-West-Approach to Fully Loving Your Life offers a clear understanding on how to go about experiencing full life participation. It lays out the tools coming from our

Western culture to make us actively part of life. It also presents Eastern paths that foster awareness of our participation in life.
With the Theory of Elastic Consciousnessthe author and practicing psychologist Dr. Andrea F. Polard provides a much needed synthesis of Western and Eastern thought."
