What do the happiest cities in the world have in common?
As of 2021, roughly 72 percent of Canadians lived in cities with populations of more than 100,000 — and that number continues to climb. Yet urban life comes with trade-offs: costly housing, less space, gridlock, poor air quality and relentless noise. Which prompts the question: Is city living at odds with our happiness? This week on Happy Enough, Garvia speaks with Houssam Elokda, a community planner, housing expert, and managing principal at Happy Cities, a Vancouver-based consultancy that aims to improve city living. They explore why Canadians are flocking to cities in greater numbers, how that shift affects wellbeing and profile global examples of how design and policy choices can restore community trust and boost wellbeing in urban areas.

Why you should add laughing to your to-do list
“Laughter is the best medicine” isn’t a cliché—it’s biology. Research finds that laughter increases your endorphins, activates and calms your stress response system, improves your immune system, and, critically, connects you with the people you love. But these days, it can feel hard to overcome the bad news and find time for a good chuckle. To dig into why laughter matters—and why we should make time for it—Garvia is joined by Chris Duffy, comedian and author of Humor Me: How Laughing More Can Make You Present, Creative, Connected, and Happy. They discuss laughter as a practice, how poking fun at ourselves and the world builds connection, and how cultivating humour can boost wellbeing, especially in hard times.

Can letting go of ambition make you happier?
In our society, ambition is viewed as a good thing. A force to be reckoned with, a badge of hard work and dedication. But does ambition come at the cost of happiness? It can leave us wanting more, never stopping to consider what “enough” even is. What if leaning into “good enough” is the secret to true happiness? In this episode, Garvia sits down with Amil Niazi, writer, producer and author of Life After Ambition: A Good Enough Memoir. Amil talks about what ambition meant early in her career, the reckoning that followed, and how embracing “good enough” has made her life happier and healthier.
