So often many of us find ourselves feeling stuck, stuck in our thoughts, our patterns,

our day-to-day routines, and the in-between moments of life.

Well, guess what?

My guest today is about to let us in on a secret that will change everything.

You can get happier. That's right.

Arthur C. Brooks is a best-selling author, acclaimed public speaker, professor at the Harvard School of Business, where he teaches courses on leadership and happiness, an all-around bright, brilliant human

being. Arthur's work explores the art and science of getting

happier and how to build the lives we want. Arthur believes that happiness is not a destination,

but a direction. And while life will always have ups and downs, the goal is to be able to wake up

each morning grateful for the good and the bad.

I couldn't wait to sit down with Arthur and Soken all the information he had to share.

So in anticipation of my upcoming Making Space Wellness Weekend, where Arthur will be a featured speaker,

I'm revisiting this conversation with him.

His words have really stuck with me, and I hope they stick with you, too.

I'm Hoda Kotby. Welcome to my podcast, Making Space.

Thank you. I'm so excited, by the way, that you're sitting here right now.

Yeah, me too.

Arthur, I adore you.

We've had you on our show.

I've read your books from strength to strength.

I'm into your whole vibe.

And I just want to start off with this thing because I'm feeling like I'm in a dead sprint and a little depleted. And I feel like I'm a happy person. I can tell that you are.
