Sean Conroy Gets Happier

Kulap Vilaysack extolls the virtues of martial arts, and talks to Sean about artificial Christmas trees, how she sometimes sounds like Kathleen Turner, and what it's like to clean out a horse hoof in Arizona.

Tracy McCubbin explains emotional clutter blocks, how de-cluttering is like Crossfit, and why keeping a portrait of Zeus in your bathroom is good for a laugh at a dinner party.

Danielle Schneider tells Sean about depression, medication, throwing away her kid's art stuff, and how even if the glass is completely empty, she can still fill it.

Rajshree Patel breaks down the concept of mindfulness, and how much more useful the idea is as an adjective than as a noun. She makes Sean wonder why he doesn't have a headboard on his bed right now, and delves into the powers of using breath as an exercise (like a dumbbell) instead of focusing on it.

Jon Gabrus explains Alexa's misconception that he is an ardent fan of Led Zeppelin (especially The Immigrant Song), and tells Sean why running two miles makes him feel like an Olympic athlete.

Dr. Suvrat Bhargave discusses using Dr. Seuss to train his mind, and how a single moment of insight, if acted upon, can have life-changing effects on one’s happiness.

Eddie Pepitone explains Freudian child psychology, how default settings can make achieving happiness regularly more difficult, and what the hell happened to Orson Wells. 

Lauren Duca tries to teach Sean how to have productive conversations with people whose views he finds disagreeable, and wonders why people think nail art is silly but golf is totally respectable.

Jen Kirkman joins Sean to talk about people who are performatively nice, dancing, and how one can be happy and depressed at the same time.
