Mid-Life Happiness: Why joy later in life looks different than you think

Guest: Arthur Brooks, author of the bestselling book, "From Strength to Strength: Finding Success, Happiness and Deep Purpose in the Second Half of Life" What if everything that brought you to success, happiness and satisfaction in the first part of your life does a terrible job to prepare you to find those things in the latter half of it? That's something that Arthur Brooks decided to tackle in his latest book. For all Brooks has accomplished — he's a Harvard professor, columnist at The Atlantic and a bestselling author — the research on this book started out for himself, trying to figure out how to find happiness and fulfilment as he got older. Now he's sharing the results and we discuss his findings. This episode was produced by Raju Mudhar, Julia De Laurentiis Johnston and Matthew Hearn
