She set out on a journey to discover how to be happy and fulfilled in your work merely by changing your perspective.

Ella James has broadcast to UN Peacekeepers for the Defence Department and done standup comedy for the International Comedy Festival at The Basement in Sydney.
Always looking on the bright side of life saw Ella James being lured back to radio (2GB, ABC local radio across Australia then Sydney’s 2UE) to interview world experts on happiness and psychoneuroimmunology (the link between mind and body in health). On the way she has collected stories from her celebrity interviews with everyone from supermodels to politicians and beyond including Elle McPherson, Whoopi Goldberg, Dr Lee Berk, Dr Bob Cummins, Bob Hawke, Paul Keating, Magda Szubanski, Bert Newton, writer Elizabeth George (Inspector Linley) and Chrissie Amphlett.
We simply don’t talk about happiness enough! We do know that making others happy (our customers and families for example) reaps golden rewards! It’she one crucial ingredient for life that we never plan for, aim for, and just hope we’re going to get. Everyone has a different happiness set point, but if you ask, people can’t give you a simple list of things that make them happy. It’s intangible.
