83. What's Essential: Dr. Arthur Brooks on Living a Better and Happier Life - Repost

Listen Later

How happy are you on a scale of 1-10? 

Regardless of what number you answered, the more important question is, what would it take to make that number a 10?

In this special replay of one of 2021's most popular episodes, I speak with Harvard happiness professor Arthur Brooks about living a better and happier life.

You’ll learn:

  • The three ingredients of happiness and how you can make them part of your life. 
  • Why unhappiness is essential in finding happiness and how you can make peace with unhappiness.
  • How you can make achieving happiness easier by understanding who you are and who you are not.
