In an enlightening conversation, Dr. Sandra Cammarata and Dr. Giovanni Campanile had the privilege of interviewing Agapi Stassinopoulos, a beacon of transformation and joy. Agapi, whose name resonates with ‘love’ in Greek, has graced numerous prestigious platforms as a transformational speaker and best-selling author, including L’Oreal, ABC Carpet & Home, Women’s Health Magazine, IBM Watson, Pandora Radio, CVS Corporate, Weight Watchers, PepsiCo, Google, Nike, and Starbucks. Her voice has not only echoed in the halls of these corporations, but has also significantly impacted the lives of many, guiding them toward a path of self-discovery and happiness.
Agapi’s latest masterpiece, “Wake Up to the Joy of You: 52 Meditations and Practices for a Calmer, Happier Life”, is a lighthouse for those adrift in the sea of life’s tumult. The book is an invitation to readers to shed the burdens that anchor them to discontent and embrace a life of peace, joy, and fulfillment. Through 52 meditations and practices, Agapi encourages individuals to let go of the unnecessary and cultivate a life that truly resonates with their heart’s desires.
Her journey to becoming a guiding light for others began with her training at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, followed by a master’s degree in psychology from the University of Santa Monica. Agapi’s rich background in both drama and psychology has enabled her to craft narratives that touch the soul and awaken the spirit. Her earlier works, “Gods and Goddesses in Love” and “Conversations with the Goddesses”, delve into Greek archetypes, offering a unique perspective on love, life, and personal growth. These books were so impactful that they were adapted into PBS specials, further amplifying Agapi’s influence.
Today, Agapi conducts workshops for Thrive Global, an initiative founded by her sister, Arianna Huffington, aimed at revolutionizing our approach to work and life. Thrive Global’s mission aligns with Agapi’s lifelong dedication to fostering well-being and resilience in the face of modern-day challenges.
Splitting her time between New York and Los Angeles, Agapi’s roots trace back to Athens, Greece, where her journey began. Her work, imbued with the wisdom of the ancients and the practicality of modern psychology, offers a roadmap to anyone seeking to rediscover joy and serenity in their lives.
In their interview, Drs. Cammarata and Campanile unveil the essence of Agapi’s message: the power of transformation lies within. Her story is a testament to the beauty of pursuing one’s passion and the transformative power of love—both for oneself and for the world.
