What is going on? I am so happy right now. I'll tell you what. But really, I do feel better

in this moment having talked to our guest today, one tall Ben Shahar. It's our first

first of all, our first Harvard professor on this show. And if nothing else, it makes me feel good

that we did that. But then again, now that I'm thinking about it, I don't know if I should

equate success to happiness after talking to tall. But either way, that I think that's

practices, I incorporate into my life, and I hope that you guys listening will as well. And

hopefully you enjoy it. Just feel good. It's a feel good. Well, I don't know if there's anything

else I should say before we get right to our guests, other than the usual, make sure you

send your questions at asknickacastemy.com, cast with the K. Don't forget to give us your five

star reviews. I could use those. And not that that's going to make me happier, I've realized. No.

But it might. But really it won't. So yeah, without further ado,

Paul, thanks for joining us. Good to be here, Nick. I really appreciate it. I feel like this

is a great time to have this discussion with you. There's probably no bad time to have a

discussion about the happiness and the science of happiness. But now more than ever, we're kind of
