Is happy an attainable goal? Turia Pitt thinks so.

Turia Pitt was 24 years old when she was caught in a grassfire while competing in an ultramarathon. She tried to outrun the flames but couldn’t. She suffered burns to 65% of her body and wasn’t expected to survive her injuries.

But Turia is proof that with the right mindset anything is possible. On today’s episode we find out what Turia’s tragedy taught her about happiness and why she‘s happier now than she was before her accident.

Turia’s new book’s called Happy and other Ridiculous Aspirations couldn’t have come at a better time for many of us. Turia explains how we can use the challenges of 2020 to work out what actually makes us happy rather than what we thought made us happy, or what we thought defined our life.
