Brand new podcast based on the most popular class in Yale. It is all about what the latest scientific research says about happiness.

"Happiness is a vacation" "Happiness ever after only exists if you live for 3 minutes more" This episode shows how resilient humans are emotionally like we have a "emotion immune system". The highs are never that high and the lows are never that low.

The reminder that once you reach 70K your happiness stays the same... was a good one for me. In the Instagram world we live in, it’s easy to feel the grass if always greener on the other side. As it turns out, it isn’t.
