A scenic view of lush green hills and farmland in the countryside with houses, trees, and cultivated fields, and a mountain in the background at sunset.

This is where you train your brain and body to access more of the good stuff.

Because that’s what opens the door to greater wellbeing, fulfillment and success.

  • What’s your most delightful childhood memory?

    Dancing in many forms! I was often seen dancing around the house while blasting my cassette tape soundtrack of The Lion King. 

    On one occasion, I even coerced my brother into a dance performance set to a Rolling Stones song. We charged my parents admission.

    What’s a consistent source of delight for you?

    Listening to music from favorite musicians. Also driving with the sunroof open, windows down.

    Name a fleeting moment that made you feel delighted.

    Pausing to thoroughly enjoying the beauty of the clouds casting their shadow over Camelback Mountain.

  • What’s your most delightful childhood memory?

    The donut truck! Each Sunday, we were bribed by my grandma to mind our manners through a traditional Catholic mass (recited in Latin no less) with the promise of a donut truck visit.

    This brought glee to all of us – young and old alike. The donut truck rolled up with steaming hot donuts housed in maple wood drawers. My top picks were always old fashioned buttermilk or maple bars. 

    What’s a consistent source of delight for you?

    Cooking Sunday family meals

    Name a fleeting moment that made you feel delighted.

    Really any small gestures of kindness…

    • A compliment paid

    • A nice, cheerful greeting

    • A considerate man, holding the door open for me and my friend

A few core concepts…

Delight is an uplifting flavor of joy.

It’s part of a family of elevated emotions that trigger measurable changes in your neurochemistry, physiology, genetics and cognition that are powerful for your wellbeing.

Lighthearted resilience is all about accessing our best selves through elevated emotions because our brains and bodies perform better when we’re in a positive state.

We choose delight because that’s what lets us keep on keepin’ on.

If you’re going through the hard stuff, know that delight is available for you too. This project was born amidst the tough parts of life — personal challenges, family illness, community conflict, financial and political unrest...

Delight exists amidst all that other stuff, not separate from it.

That very recognition is the essence of lighthearted resilience.
