Episode notes

Happiness doesn't seem to come from our circumstances. It's not like we're trying to beat other people or go after these accolades, right? Happiness comes from being grateful and present from what you have. If i had practised some things i knew might be longer lasting. But at least i can't blame myself for what i was looking anthony had a great question asked. What if certain aspects of your happiness, or the pursuit of your happiness,. cause others you care about to be unhappy, thereby making you unhappy? The answer is that those cases are probably less often than you think.

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.
