Ep 404: Your 2024 Happiness Reset With Arthur C. Brooks

The New Year is a time when many of us take a moment to reflect on how we did over the past year and plan our goals for the future. This past year, we’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how to make our work and home lives more fulfilling. According to the World Happiness Report, it’s working! The US is now the 15th happiest country overall. 

Let’s keep those good vibes going and start 2024 with a happiness reset. Arthur C. Brooks, co-author of Build The Life You Want: The Art and Science of Getting Happier says the key to happiness starts with focusing on these four pillars: faith, family, friendship, and work. And we discuss the one thing to avoid if your #2024goals are focused on getting your money right.

In Mailbag, we hear from a listener who got laid off during pregnancy and asks what to prioritize when she’s financially stable again and an aunt who’s curious about how to best help her nephew who was just released from prison. In our money tip of the week, if you’re a Boomer with a paid-off mortgage, now might be a great time to sell.
