Why Small Conversations Create Big Happiness with Nicholas Epley

Why do we avoid talking to strangers when it could actually make our lives better? Nicholas Epley, behavioral scientist at the University of Chicago, explains why we consistently underestimate how positive social interactions will be—and how that mistake quietly limits our happiness. Drawing from decades of research and stories from his new book A Little More Social, he shows how small moments of connection can transform ordinary days.
