The Science of Happiness with Professor Laurie Santos

In today’s episode Yale professor and The Happiness Lab host Dr. Laurie Santos breaks down the science of happiness, sharing what research actually shows boosts our wellbeing—and what doesn’t. We explore the difference between feeling good in your life and feeling good about your life, and how strategies like social connection, movement, sleep, time affluence, and self-compassion can make a measurable impact. We also dive into helpful insights for parents, explaining how well-intentioned efforts to help can sometimes backfire, and what we can do instead to foster happiness in our children.
