Summary

After witnessing depression take hold of her students at Yale, Professor of Psychology and Head of Silliman College at Yale University, Dr. Laurie Santos decided to do something about it. What she did was launch the most popular class in Yale's 300 year history. Laurie teaches the famous happiness course, Psychology and the Good Life and hosts the Happiness Lab Podcast. In 2007 she was featured in Popular Science's "Brilliant Ten" young scientists and the following year was awarded Yale's prestigious Stanton Prize.

Plus, young people's complicated relationship with social media and how it can lead to their feelings of unfulfillment. She discusses tips on how to feel happier and how happiness is a practice, which is quite attainable when you give your mind and body the right nourishment.
