Sally Kohn is a happiness expert who's also known for paying attention to her body. She says she was missing out on much of the visual experience in her daily life. Her wake-up call came when she took a walk home from the eye doctor, and it opened up all five senses. "My brain just flipped open everything that had been screening things out," said Kohn.
Are you seeing what you look at? Or tuning in to the noises all around you? We take our senses for granted - particularly when it comes to the sights and sounds of our everyday lives. Exploring your senses can be a great way to experience more fun and happiness right now.
Happiness expert Gretchen Rubin was warned that her eyesight was in peril - which spurred her to rethink her relationship with her senses. In the first of two interviews, Gretchen joins Dr Laurie Santos to discuss her journey of discovery and her new book - Life in Five Senses: How Exploring the Senses Got Me Out of My Head and Into the World.
