Holistic Happiness Club with Akshay Tiwari

In today's fast-paced world, stress, anxiety, burnout, and the constant fear of uncertainty have become part of everyday life for millions of working professionals. Whether it's the fear of losing a job, pressure to perform, emotional exhaustion, or simply feeling mentally drained despite getting enough sleep, many people are struggling silently without knowing when it's time to seek help.

In this episode of Holistic Happiness Club, I sit down with psychologist and wellness coach Anshuman Anand to explore some of the most common mental health challenges faced by students, professionals, and families today.

We discuss what Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) actually is, how our thoughts influence our behaviors, and how to identify when stress has crossed the line into burnout. Anshuman shares insights from his experience working with children, families, rehabilitation centers, and corporate employees, offering practical perspectives on anxiety, emotional exhaustion, addiction, phobias, and mental well-being.

One of the most surprising parts of the conversation is the realization that knowledge alone is often not enough to create change. Even highly educated professionals, doctors, and experts can struggle with mental health challenges, addiction, and emotional distress. Understanding a problem and overcoming it are often two very different things.

We also explore:

• The growing fear of layoffs and job insecurity
• Signs of burnout at work that people often ignore
• How to know when you should seek professional help
• The difference between sadness and depression
• Why many people feel tired even after sleeping enough
• The impact of workplace stress on personal life
• How anxiety affects day-to-day functioning
• Why work-life boundaries are becoming harder to maintain
• The hidden mental health effects of doom scrolling and digital overload
• Practical techniques for calming the mind and managing stress
• The importance of awareness, self-observation, and emotional regulation

If you've ever found yourself constantly worrying about the future, overthinking your career, feeling emotionally exhausted, or wondering whether your stress levels are normal, this conversation offers valuable insights and practical guidance.

This episode is not a replacement for professional mental health support, but it may help you better understand your own experiences and recognize when seeking help could make a meaningful difference.

✅  About Holistic Happiness Club:
My Channel is about Holistic Happiness. 

I come up with the topics I think are necessary for 360 degrees of happiness; when I say holistic happiness or 360-degree happiness, it includes health, Success, career, work life, social life, and every other aspect of life. I focus on mental health primarily, but mental health cannot be excluded from any aspect of life.


So, my focus is Happiness, which includes not only positive psychology like gratitude, mindfulness, surrender, forgiveness, letting go, etc., but also your success in life, be it in your career or anything else that you consider a success. I believe Happiness can only be inclusive.
