Summary

Over the second half of the season on cultivating happiness we've been talking quite a bit about connection and the need for one another in order to increase our happiness.

We’ll talk about setting aside tech free time & making routines to enrich our connection with others.

The benefits of deep social connections
Feeding our dopamine addiction with smartphones
