Aloha, everyone. Gina here. Today we're doing things a little bit differently and we're

bringing you a preview from another podcast we love. It's called The Happiness Lab and

it's hosted by Yale Professor and Human Cognition expert, Dr. Laurie Santos. On the Happiness

Lab, Laurie explores all the ways we get our happiness wrong and what we can do to really

feel better. She walks through the latest evidence-based strategies for improving your

mental health, sharing practical advice on what will really bring us more joy. In her

latest New Year season of The Happiness Lab, Laurie tackles how to listen to the inner

voice of what we really need in the New Year. And in the preview you're about to hear,

she's joined by authors Justin Zorn and Lee Mars to discuss an important topic for listening

to our inner compass silence. But it's not necessarily silence in the way you're thinking.

Justin and Lee are authors of Golden, the power of silence in a world of noise. They argue

there's a difference between the total absence of sound and the absence of noise and that

mindfully taking yourself out of noise is essential for physical health, mental clarity

and vibrant community. I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I did. If you do, you can

find more from The Happiness Lab wherever you listen to your podcasts.

the four-story Walnut Street prison who are seeking out alms. It's in the midst of

this bustling 18th century urban scene that dozens of powdered wig leaders from across

the land begin filing into Pennsylvania Statehouse. They'd soon be taking part in a series
