We talk to Peace By Chocolate founder Tareq Hadhad about their move from Syria to Nova Scotia, and getting some love from President Biden. The Washington Post's Tatum Hunter discusses tech’s role in the loneliness epidemic. Plus, is it possible to teach happiness? We chat with Dacher Keltner, a UC Berkeley prof & author of Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life, to find out. Finally, in Socially Speaking, we tackle why social media verification is mostly broken.
