Sesame Street is teaching adults how to cope with their own emotions. We'll discuss some of these happiness hacks with a very special Muppets helper when the happiness lab returns in a moment. The science shows we recognize a difficult emotion rising within us, and there are steps we can take to allow and regulate that emotion. For a limited time, the Happiness Lab listeners can get Rosetta Stone's lifetime unlimited subscription, which gives you access to all 25 languages forever.
Not matter if you're aged three or 103, you can learn to be happier using pretty much the same strategies. Sesame Workshop and its furry friends have been teaching "emotional ABCs" alongside literacy and numeracy for decades. So in collaboration with The Happiness Lab, Elmo and his friends will be helping us present fun and accessible happiness hacks for listeners of all ages.
To kick things off, Dr Laurie Santos sat down to discuss why it's never too early to learn about wellbeing with Sesame Workshop's CEO, Steve Youngwood; the Chief Production and Creative Development Officer, Kay Wilson Stallings… and everyone’s favorite furry, red monster, Elmo.
