BITESIZE | 3 Simple Science-Backed Ways to Boost Your Happiness | Professor Laurie Santos

We all want to be happy, but what truly brings us happiness is often not what we think.

Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart.  Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.

Today’s clip is from episode 151 of the podcast with Laurie Santos, Professor of Psychology at Yale University. Laurie’s ‘Science of Wellbeing’ course has developed into a global phenomenon, with over 4 million people signing up to study her evidence-based strategies for happiness.

In this clip, she explains that our intuition is often wrong when it comes to happiness and shares the results of some surprising research that could help us live happier lives.
