YALE PROFESSOR Explains Why You're NOT HAPPY In Life! | Laurie Santos & Jay Shetty
From the show
Description
On this episode of On Purpose, I sat down with Laurie Santos. Laurie is most known for her Yale course “Psychology and the Good Life”. We discussed how our minds are sucky, and lie to us constantly. Laurie reminds us that external accolades will never bring long-term happiness, and that strong social connections are what we should be aiming for. Hi, it’s Jay! I'd love to keep in touch.
