Sharing a special preview of the new season of The Happiness Lab. Yale professor Dr. Laurie Santos has studied the science of happiness and found that many of us do the exact opposite of what will truly make our lives better. She’ll take you through the latest scientific research and share surprising, inspiring stories that will change the way you think about happiness. In this episode, Laurie is joined by U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to talk about a massive public health crisis that has touched nearly all of us at some time or another: loneliness.

Loneliness is a far more common and far more serious problem than we think. If we're feeling lonely, what can we do? As you'll hear, we need to build out our social connections and friendships.
