from Ced With Intention · host Cedric Thompson Jr.
One year in and I wanted to bring back one of my favorites to celebrate.When I first sat down with Dr. Arthur Brooks, Harvard professor and bestselling author, I had no idea how much this conversation would shape the direction of this podcast. A year later, it's still one of my favorites and I knew I had to bring it back.We get into what happiness actually is versus what we've been told it is, why the people who chase success the hardest are often the least equipped to receive love, and the idea that we're all dealt a hand of cards at birth and what we choose to do with them is everything. We also talk about the science of falling in love, why your brain is literally working against your happiness, and what it actually takes to build a life you're proud of.
