Pushkin.

Hi everyone, Sophia Bush here and I am thrilled to tell you about the new original audio

book that I was lucky enough to narrate, called Wild and Precious, a celebration of Mary

Oliver.

This unique collection includes poems read by Oliver herself, in addition to readings

and personal recollections by artists and fans like Carmen Maria Machado, Rosque,

Susan Cain, Busy Phillips, Rain Wilson, and me.

You can pre-order Wild and Precious at pushkin.fm or wherever audiobooks are sold.

We humans were already pretty complicated creatures, but living in the modern world has

added a ton more complication to our lives.

In past episodes of The Happiness Lab, we've looked at the effects of things like jobs,

school grades, smartphones, and even alarm clocks on our well-being.

These days we have so much going on, so many things demanding our attention and so many

competing desires and emotions that even if you know what you're supposed to be doing,

it often feels like it's still hard to stay on track.

It's a bit like being a chariot here, holding the reins of too powerful but mismatched

horses.

You know who wants to reach a happy place, but each of the steeds keeps going off in different

directions.

It's exhausting, but you'll only reach your desired destination if you can get the horses

to work in harmony and pull together.

Now, I know what you're thinking.
