Description

Laurie Santos (@lauriesantos) is a professor of psychology at Yale University, instructor of Coursera's The Science of Well-Being course (adapted from her popular Psychology and the Good Life course at Yale), and host of The Happiness Lab podcast.
What We Discuss with Laurie Santos:

Happiness is actually a set of skills we can learn and master as opposed to some ideal state of being.
While there's no denying that genetics and circumstances play a role in happiness, the good news is that we're in control of developing the mindset and behavior to mobilize it.
The mechanisms by which people become happy (or miserable), and some tools we can use to to hack our own happiness.
The bad news: we outgrow the rush of the happiest days of our lives; the good news: we outgrow the anguish from the worst days of our lives.
Why Olympic bronze medalists are often happier than silver medalists.
And much more...
