Is There A Science To Happiness?

Have you ever wondered: What does it mean to be truly happy? Can our brain chemistry, or even our genetics, determine how we feel about our lives? And, most importantly, can we learn to be even happier? Cognitive scientist and Yale University Psychology Professor Laurie Santos has spent her career researching these questions. As the host of The Happiness Lab (www.pushkin.fm/show/the-happi...) , Laurie has gone on her own journey to discover what it truly means to be happy. On today’s podcast episode, Professor Santos will share her findings and how she says we can re-train our brains to make better choices, build better habits, and ultimately, be happier.

[@CoolStory-Bro]

Happiness is sometimes about weaning off the internet and having balance in your life.

And stop watching Fake News.

Lol, happiness and CNN do not go together.

[@shaystern2453]

Did they define what happiness is?

[@garyevans2761]

A host of different things bring happiness no one thing brings happiness

[@kahanakahuna1470]

"Happiness" is dependent on your ever-changing circumstances.. True, "Joy" is found only in Christ.

Happiness is when you don't take the jab.

[@JustClip2707]

It's just a feeling of someone who love or hate something. I think it just a new topic which wants get attention form audiences.

Happiness for me is when I quit being a good Chicago Democrat, moved and became an independent. What a life changer

[@pivara2028]

If you're afraid of death you'll never truly be happy or content.

[@JaronsView]

Happiness is like a pizza delivery - it's all about the dopamine rush! See, our brains are wired to release dopamine when we experience pleasure, like eating pizza or watching cat videos. But seriously, science shows that happiness is linked to neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins. So, to increase happiness, we can try things like exercise (endorphins), meditation (serotonin), and... well, pizza (dopamine)!

Happiness was when Donald Trump was president. Best of all voting for him is free and you don't need a psychologist or have to buy happy pills to do it.

[@Paul-lm5gv]

He says the 'happiness curve' gets bigger as one gets older past age 50. But he conveniently ignores the frailties that come with old age. A cancer diagnosis does NOT make one happy!

[@bemacbe]

I am always happy! Never upset, never sad. It's true! 😁 I suffered a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) during my last week of high school due to a bike wreck. After waking from a two-week coma, I had lots of issues and still do. But the one nice thing that came from this is my positive outlook on life! I am so thankful. So if you want to be happy... umm, never mind! Just a thought.

[@josecedres8117]

Happiness comes from the world, but, Joy only comes from the Lord ❤️😀…

fascinating - but who the heck taught this woman the word "normative"? Is it it an American thing? What was ever wrong with saying we have a normal emotion, normal behaviour? It sounds ridiculous!

[@stoneneils]

Actually you sound ridiculous. Lagnuage is fluid and in the usa language is REALLY fluid in case you haven't realized that yet.

[@alansimon1354]

[@stewy336]

..As a beginner investor, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Myself, I'm guided by Mr Michael. A widely known crypto expert

[@ErikDiederich]

..YES!!! That's exactly his name (Mr Michael) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her from United States

[@InesHimmel]

Michael's assessment of cryptocurrencies is by far the most accurate... A must for all beginners and experienced crypto traders.

[@eacswtumz]

So surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon one of his clients testimony on CNBC news last week
