There’s a simple playbook for happiness. One we’ve been taught since we were kids. Study hard, get a good job, climb the ladder, make a bunch of money and then you’ll be happy. So why do so many of us feel unfulfilled, lost and rudderless? This week we speak with Stephanie Harrison, an expert on the psychology of happiness and the author of New Happy. We discuss our rugged individualism, obsession with money, emptiness and disconnection, helping others and understanding our emotional pain. [Episode 56]
