Here’s a special preview of the new season of The Happiness Lab. You might think you know what it takes to lead a happier life… more money, a better job, or Instagram-worthy vacations. You’re dead wrong. Yale professor Dr. Laurie Santos has studied the science of happiness and found that many of us do the exact opposite of what will truly make our lives better. She’ll take you through the latest scientific research and share some surprising and inspiring stories that will change the way you think about happiness. In the preview you’re about to hear, Laurie is joined by the US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to talk about a massive public health crisis that has touched nearly all of us at some time or another: loneliness.
If we're feeling lonely, what can we do? As you'll hear in this preview, we need to build out our social connections. Hear more fromThe Happiness Lab at https://podcasts.pushkin.fm/thls5?sid=rise.
