Summary

Are you happy? Scientifically speaking, do you have all of the components in your life that contribute to true happiness and well-being? Dr. Laurie Santos is a professor at Yale University, among many other things, and she teaches a course called “Psychology and the Good Life”, covering the research and scientifically-backed elements of happiness and well-being. That course became the most popular course ever taught at Yale University.

I’m excited to ask her about the misconceptions of happiness, methods of self-care that are actually scientifically supported, and what she anticipates will challenge us as we emerge from over a year the isolation and trauma brought on by the pandemic.
