Today's clip is from episode 151 of the podcast with Laurie Santos, Professor of Psychology at Yale University.

Laurie's Science of Well-Being course has developed into a global phenomenon,

with over 4 million people signing up to study her evidence-based strategies for happiness.

In this clip, she explains that our intuition is often wrong when it comes to happiness,

are going to help if you engage with them the right way.
