The Happiness Lab with Dr. Laurie Santos
You're not bothering people as much as you think. Reach out anyway.
Who it's for
Santos shows, with research and stories, that our intuitions about happiness (more money, more success) often mislead us, which can release listeners from chasing the wrong goals.
