Happier Summer Series Part 5: How Serving Others Actually Makes Us Happier and What Compassion Can Teach Us with Bill Belanger
Monday, 29 June, 2026
What do the happiest people in the world have in common?According to psychotherapist and meditation teacher Bill Belanger, it’s probably not what you think.In this episode of the Happier Series, I sit down with Bill to explore what both Western psychology and Buddhist philosophy teach about happiness, suffering, and compassion. Bill is the founder of Healbright and has spent more than twenty years studying meditation and Buddhist psychology, including training in monasteries in Bhutan, Nepal, and Thailand.Together, we explore why so much of our suffering comes from trying to hold onto things that are constantly changing—our children growing up, our parents aging, relationships evolving, and seasons of life coming and going. We also discuss why happiness built on external circumstances can feel so fragile, and how compassion may offer a more reliable path to wellbeing.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why Buddhist psychology views suffering as a normal part of the human experience• The difference between empathy and compassion—and why it matters• How compassion can increase happiness and reduce burnout• Why meditation plateaus are normal and what to do when they happen• A simple compassion practice you can start todayIf you've ever wished you could hold onto a moment forever, or found yourself wondering why happiness can feel so fleeting, this conversation offers a powerful and hopeful perspective on what it means to live well. 🪷Rise & Flourish LIVE | Delray Beach, FL | Sat. 9-26 | Learn More & Reserve Your Spot Yoto Player | Screen Free Fun for KidsSummertime screen audio player.
