Finding Meaning in Every Detour with Dr. Elia Gourgouris

The Playbook With David Meltzer

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Elia Gourgouris, America’s Happiness Doctor, to explore how divine direction, detours, and timing shape our lives. We discuss the journey from living in the world of “not enough” to “just enough” and ultimately to “more than enough.” I share the powerful lessons learned from losing over $100 million, embracing failure as a divine detour, and finding meaning in every outcome—both good and bad. Dr. Gourgouris and I talk about the importance of living in alignment with our heartset, enjoying the consistent pursuit of our potential, and the ultimate goal of helping others find happiness.
