Dr. Loy: My dream is that someday we won't need people like me teaching well-being strategies to young adults, because all those emotional skills will be as much a part of early educational development as learning the ABCs or how to ride a bike. I hope that the Happiness Labs upcoming collaboration with the Sesame Street folks will be an important first step in that direction. If you've been struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep, try listening to a guided meditation tonight on the Sleep Meditation for Women podcast. Every night, sleep meditation for women provides a new episode from body relaxations to guided visualizations and even dedicated sleep sounds.
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.
