Hey everybody, happy new year.

Just want to start out by saying thank you for enjoying this podcast, listening for another year and helping support it.

I really love getting to talk to all these fascinating people and sharing them with you.

And I want to keep doing it.

So subscribe, review, share it with your friends and family and keep sending me all the great messages on social media about who you love, who you want to hear from.

Keep coming with those reviews and comments to it's really awesome to have some feedback.

And I love hearing from you guys about the episodes that you find most interesting and all that stuff.

So keep it coming.

I thought the best way to kick off the new year was to rerun one of my favorites with the perfect message for this sort of fresh slate of a new year.

How to be happy.

Ways that we think we are making ourselves happier that are wrong.

Ways that we could be happier if we embrace them.

And you may have listened to this before.

I recommend giving it another run.

If you haven't heard it, I talked to the professor of psychology at Yale University, director of Yale's comparative cognition laboratory and canine cognition center also the head of someone college there.

Lori Santos.

She has this incredibly popular course on happiness that like a fourth of the students at Yale are in 400,000 plus people have signed up for online.

I loved this conversation with her because it touches on so many themes that are really popular and common throughout this podcast that I bring up all the time about gratitude and stillness.

And how to kind of think about the way that your brain works and actually be proactive in how that can affect how you feel every single day the choices that you make to be happier and be better to be around as well.

So I thought it was the perfect way to kick off the new year.

I hope you enjoyed this conversation.

That's what she said.
