Astrophysicist to prove who is The Happiest Man Alive

LOS ANGELES - Feb. 4, 2022 - PRLog -- When astrophysicist Amanda Maxham got a call from Tal Tsfany claiming to be The Happiest Man Alive, she wondered why he was calling her and not a psychologist. When he then asked her to work with him to actually prove that he is indeed the world's Happiest Man, she wondered if this were all a joke.

"I have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than the happiest man alive picking up the phone and calling me," she said.  "I didn't know if it was even possible to prove something like this, let alone accept his challenge."

After careful consideration, she decided to take him up on his offer and document it for others. As such, her new podcast, "Happiest Man Alive" was born. In the podcast, "Happiest Man Alive" Maxham shares her journey of this most unusual challenge. She recorded the calls with Tsfany as well as her thoughts, including her insecurities and reasoning into how she could actually develop a scientifically legitimate formula to compare this one man with the other eight billion people on earth.

"I realized that if someone truly knows the formula to happiness, then that person should be able to replicate that formula and get the same result with anyone, including me," she said.  "But the first question I had to answer is- What is happiness?  Would I even know if happiness were to happen to me."  She set to find out.

Happiest Man Alive Podcast is now available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, and Youtube.  You can also subscribe and learn more at www.happiest podcast.com.
