EP. 160 — How Can We Stop Being Such Grumpy Nightmares? with Dr. Laurie Santos
Queen, did you know that there was a literal doctor teaching a class on happiness at literally Yale?! Dr. Laurie Santos, a professor of psychology at Yale University and the host of The Happiness Lab podcast, gives Jonathan a redux version of her iconic Yale course about the science of happiness and shares tips for boosting our spirits even when we’re not near the people and places that usually bring us joy. It’s time to get in touch with our vagus nerves!
