In this thought-provoking episode of The Quiet Warrior Podcast, I talk with Christian Schnepf, founder of The Science of Good Times and creator of the Good Times App — the world’s first data-based navigation system for life.

Drawing on years of cross-cultural exploration and PhD-level research at Shanghai University, Christian shares his mission to make the conscious pursuit of good times the number one priority in human life. Blending philosophy, physics, and psychology, he reveals how we can cultivate more flow, joy, and fulfillment — not by doing more, but by learning when to let go, relax, and be fully present.

Key Takeaways

• The turning point: Christian’s personal crisis led him to question conventional success and seek a more meaningful design for life.
• Defining a “good time”: A moment when you feel fully attracted to your experience — who you are, where you are, what you do, who you’re with, and what you receive.
• The five life areas:
  1. Self
  2. Social relationships
  3. Actions
  4. Rewards (money, love, acknowledgement)
  5. Environment
• The flow of energy: Good times occur when energy flows freely; bad times signal energy blockages.
• The art of doing nothing: True rest means surrendering control — not performing, producing, or even trying to relax.
• Fear vs. love: We either move away from fear or toward love. Living consciously means walking toward what attracts and nourishes us.
• The role of awareness: Checking in with ourselves helps reveal what truly feels good, rather than what society or algorithms dictate.
• The Good Time Ratio (GTR): A simple metric to track how often you feel attracted to your experiences — a practical step toward more conscious living.
