If you could take a pill to make you happier and healthier, would you? What about sitting alone in silence for 10 days straight - sound fun? Maybe not!

They also break down the science and psychology around what really impacts "happy chemicals" in the brain. From dopamine detoxes to longevity-obsessed gurus, no stone is left unturned in this fascinating clash between spirituality and science on the quest to optimize life.
