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. Based on the psychology course she teaches at Yale -- the most popular class in the university’s 300-year history -- Laurie will take you through the latest scientific research and share some surprising and inspiring stories that will change the way you think about happiness.

Boredom and Mind Wandering Epidode
Jul 17
Dr. Laurie, Throughout this episode my brain kept thinking, “what about mindfulness!?!” Mind wandering seems to be the opposite of mindfulness. Can they be complimentary?
Tone doesn’t match the content
Jul 27
Is it just me or is the voice and overall tone of this podcast bizarre? I grew up in a similar background and I can’t say I’ve ever heard a podcast covering this content that sounded so chipper and light. It comes across as more peddling their wares rather than investigative journalism. I couldn’t even get past the first 20 minutes.
Love that the advice comes from proven research
Jun 17
I love the sharing of what this scholar has learned from her research and teaching supplemented by sharing her own experience. It’s so fun to dip into the psychology research as an outsider without worrying that the research will be distorted or misinterpreted by journalists. Has also really helped me personally to grow and think about what happiness is. What a great course she has developed, and so valuable for her students’ happiness.
Gave it a real chance
Jul 9
Between the pervasive ads for a home sharing company that's ruining neighborhoods, there's a seed of a concept here. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think it's the surface-level treatment of the topics and an almost lack of self-insight that makes this hard to listen to. I love and am fascinated by psychology and theories of the human mind. And yet, I don't get that much out of this podcast.
