This episode delves into excerpts from Tal Ben-Shahar's Harvard lecture on positive psychology, specifically his insights on cultivating lasting love. We explore his concepts of "finding" versus "cultivating" mindsets in relationships, the crucial role of effort and shared purpose, and the importance of active love and vulnerability. The episode also examines healthy versus unhealthy conflict resolution, lessons from same-sex couples, the power of "love boosters," and the significance of benefit-creating in strengthening relationships.
