Does Love = Happiness?

In this episode of The goop Podcast, Gwyneth Paltrow sits down with Arthur Brooks—a Harvard professor, bestselling author, and happiness expert—to explore the connection between romantic love, emotional well-being, and long-term happiness. They unpack the science behind why falling in love can feel like losing your mind, how anxiety can be a hidden superpower, and why hookup culture skips the steps that matter most. Brooks also shares what decades of research reveal about how to be truly happy—and why the happiest people aren’t the most successful, but the most loved. Learn more about your ad choices.
