Dr. Laurie Santos is a renowned psychology professor at Yale University and creator of the most popular course in Yale's history: "Psychology and the Good Life." This conversation explores why our intuitions about happiness are spectacularly wrong and the mental health crisis plaguing young people. We discuss how our brains mislead us about well-being, the power of negative visualization, and evidence-based "rewirements" to overcome our natural biases.  Along the way, she shares the stark reality among elite students and practical strategies for authentic happiness. Laurie brings science to humanity's quest for happiness. Essential for anyone seeking genuine well-being. Enjoy!
