Summary
We all want to be happy, but what truly brings us happiness is often not what we think.
Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.
Today’s clip is from episode 151 of the podcast with Laurie Santos, Professor of Psychology at Yale University.
In this clip, Laurie explains why our happiness is so important for our health, our wellbeing and our longevity, and she shares the results of some surprising research that could help us live a happier life.
