| 0:05.6 | Lab, you'll know the power that face-to-face interactions have to improve our mood and |
| 0:09.8 | our well-being. While this April, I plan to put that good advice into action, I'll be |
| 0:14.6 | taking to the stage for two live, happiness-lab events. I'll kick off each of these live events |
| 0:20.3 | by sharing the very latest science-backed happiness tips. You'll also get to sit in on a special |
