Psychology Life Lessons is a podcast where we listen in on conversations with psychology experts and try to extract life lessons, and maybe a little wisdom.
In this episode, Dr. Dan Lannin has a conversation with Bill O’Hanlon–a renaissance man who has a distinguished career as a therapist, writer, public speaker, and now as a professional songwriter. Among other things, Bill talks about four energies that we can pay attention to for guidance in our lives–blissed, blessed, pissed, and dissed.
About Bill O’Hanlon:
Bill O’Hanlon has been playing guitar, piano and writing songs for over 50 years. In recent years, he’s gotten more serious about songwriting and has co-written more than 300 songs a year for the past few years and over 1,400 songs total. Bill has gotten over 79+ cuts of his songs with independent artists and several sync (TV, movies and commercials) placements. He writes many different genres of music, from singer-songwriter to country to pop to rock to jazz and even some hip-hop, since his co-writers bring musical influences that aren’t his main strengths or interests. He works with several writing/production teams for sync, including iDO and DOLL.
Bill was chosen as Songwriter of the Year in 2022 by SongTown, an online songwriting community.
He has also written 40 books, the last three of which are about songwriting. Song Building: Mastering Lyric Writing (https://www.amazon.com/Song-Building-Mastering-SongTown-Songwriting-ebook/dp/B07WJWQB78/),The Songwriter’s Guide to Mastering Co-Writing (https://www.amazon.com/Songwriters-Guide-Mastering-Co-Writing-Techniques-ebook/dp/B07N6N4L23/), and Mastering Melody Writing (https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Melody-Writing-Songwriters-Repetition/dp/1098364333/) co-written with hit songwriters Marty Dodson and Clay Mills.
Bill was formerly a psychotherapist and speaker, traveled throughout the world for 30+ years, giving over 3700 talks and workshops before putting his work online and staying put at home most of the time. One of his books (Do One Thing Different) was featured on Oprah.
