What if your pursuit of happiness won’t lead you where you want to go? Arthur Brooks, Harvard professor and bestselling author, transitioned from his early career as a classical musician to become a renowned behavioral scientist following a personal health crisis. He explores why many people, especially high achievers, often chase the wrong goals—like money, power, and fame—and how these pursuits can lead to emptiness rather than joy.

Instead, Arthur presents the "big four" pillars of a truly fulfilling life: faith, family, friendships, and meaningful work. He reveals how our understanding of happiness has evolved over time, why modern society often gets it wrong, and what practical steps we can take to cultivate lasting joy. Arthur also sheds light on the neuroscience of happiness, revealing how certain brain regions are activated through experiences of faith and connection, and why managing our emotions—not eradicating them—is key to a balanced life. This episode is a scientific and personal guide to building happiness, grounded in practical tools and strategies that anyone can implement.
