Happiness Is A Direction: Harvard Professor Arthur Brooks On Navigating Crisis, Building Better Relationships, Finding Meaning, & What Actually Makes Us Happy

from The Rich Roll Podcast · host Rich Roll

Arthur Brooks is a Harvard professor, behavioral scientist, and the world’s leading researcher on happiness.   This conversation explores the ineffable nature of happiness and meaning, explores why success addiction plagues high achievers, and discusses how science can open a portal to deeper truths. We investigate the dualistic tension between striving and surrender, as Arthur reveals how our fixation on striving often obscures the true source of happiness.   Through a captivating shift in perspective, he sheds light on a new understanding of love, purpose, and fulfillment.   The intersection of science and happiness begins here.
