Summary

Dr. Laurie Santos joins Gaby to discuss NOT whether money buys happiness (it does!) but rather what science shows us we should also be focusing on for happiness, why the human brain is designed to be bad with money, and what happened when monkeys were taught to buy treats with currency. Also, the curse of the lottery. Then, on Dear Gaby, a listener writes in about receiving a raise after discovering gender pay inequity at work and how she is using it for good. And, listener Casey calls in to ask about ethically investing an unexpected inheritance.
