If you believe that achieving a happier life requires more money, a superior job, or vacations worthy of social posts, this isn’t always true. In a landscape dominated by superficial advice and fleeting trends, The Happiness Lab is a breath of fresh air.  Yale professor Dr Laurie Santos’ podcast is an invitation to explore the depths of our happiness.

Santos, who has studied the science of happiness, was voted as one of Popular Science magazine’s brilliant 10 young minds, and her Apple podcast has amassed over 85 million downloads since its inception. With 168 episodes, Santos manages to blend the wisdom of academia with a heart-to-heart chat, making complex psychological concepts accessible to all. Each episode is carefully curated, featuring interviews with experts, inspiring stories, and practical exercises that empower listeners to implement positive changes in their lives.
