Everyday Better with Leah Smart

Engineering A Happier Life with Tal Ben-Shahar


Listen Later

We all want to be happier. But how do we get there? 

Former professor of the most popular course at Harvard, Tal Ben-Shahar is a world-renowned positive psychology expert and author who has dedicated his life to understanding how we can become happier, both individually and collectively. Research reveals something surprising: chasing happiness directly is the wrong strategy.

This week on Everyday Better, Tal shares the science-backed tools and mindsets that actually lead to higher overall levels of happiness. He explains how we can build sustainable motivation instead of relying on willpower and why difficult periods in our lives aren't as damaging to our well-being as we might fear.
