Summary
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
To kick off our first show of 2016, we talk about the results of a 75-year study on — what else? — the key to finding lasting happiness in life. Doing this ONE thing in your life can not only make you happier but healthier and, as a result, more likely to live longer. It's like tapping your own personal Fountain of Youth everyday...and here's a hint: it has nothing to do with going to the gym!
Then, we take a question from a listener who's feeling torn — should she take a year off from work and travel, or is it too late for a little adventure?
Have any career or money questions to help you ensure a prosperous new year? We'd love to hear from you! Email us at brownambitionpodcast@gmail.com or join the BA Fam on Facebook and Twitter.
