What's poppin' family, it's episode 282 of the Genius Life. Let's go.

What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to another episode of The Show. My name is Max Lugovier,

a filmmaker, health and science journalist, and New York Times best-selling author.

I'm super excited on this episode of The Show to introduce you to my new friend Arthur Brooks.

Arthur is a brilliant dude. He's a social scientist, he's a columnist for The Atlantic,

he's president of the American Enterprise Institute, and the author of 12, count him 12 books,

including his latest, Love Your Enemies, how decent people can save America from the culture

of contempt. I was actually introduced to Arthur Brooks via my good friend,

Salda Stefano, over at Mind Pump, who had nothing but glowing things to say about Arthur and his

wisdom and insight into all things happiness, and I could not wait to get him on the show to

introduce him to you. So, over the course of the next hour and some on minutes, we are going to

discuss how to get off of the hedonic treadmill and begin practicing happiness hygiene by leaning

into four key areas of your life that Arthur is going to disclose to you. We're going to talk about

the value of faith, something even the non-religious people in the audience will surely derive value from.

We're going to talk about how to reset, quote-unquote, your dopamine-nergic reward pathways. Dopamine

resets are kind of a thing now on YouTube, and so I want to ask Arthur Brooks, who's an expert

in happiness, he's a happiness scientist, how we can potentially reset our dopamine pathways

for more joy and a greater sense of reward in our lives. We're going to talk about social media

and how to maintain a healthy balance with our digital social networks. And so much more.

There's a ton here. I love chatting with Arthur. He is an intellectual powerhouse and I'm sure you

are going to agree. This episode of the show is sponsored by AG1 by Athletic Greens. I love
