Episode notes

We're not good at understanding thet amount of self compassion we need to motivate ourselves. More self compassion, it turns out, can actually allow you to engage in new habits better and more effectively with less procrastination. Wed let go for the drill sergeant approach. We'd be better off kind of mindfully paying attention to what's going on and recognizing that we're just human.

HAPPINESS RESEARCH, straight up. What is happiness? How do our circumstances affect happiness? Why is the word “gratitude” kinda cringey? What can we do to feel better? Should we feel guilty for feeling happy? When is positivity “toxic?” Yale cognitive scientist, Eudemonologist, and host of The Happiness Lab podcast Dr. Laurie Santos chats about how scientists measure human happiness and what their research has shown helps achieve it, even during the worst of times. Also: silver medal face & countering counterfactuals, which will make sense when you listen.
