Daily Happy: Episode 31 The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Suzanna

This episode of The Daily Happy is powered by wanderlust, imagination, and one seriously underrated film: The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

Why does it make me so happy? Because it reminds me that we all have a little hero inside us—even if our biggest adventure today is surviving a group text with 37 unread messages and absolutely zero context.

Ben Stiller plays Walter, a mild-mannered dreamer who zones out mid-meeting but ends up living a wild, globe-trotting, dopamine-boosting, emotional-resilience-building journey. And guess what? Science backs that up. Research from the Journal of Positive Psychology shows uplifting movies like this one literally rewire your brain for joy, connection, and purpose.

So consider this your professional development assignment:
 Watch Walter Mitty
 Pop some popcorn
 Blast Life is a Highway by Rascal Flatts
