You might think you know what it takes to lead a happier life… more money, a better job, or Instagram-worthy vacations. You’re dead wrong. Yale professor Dr. Laurie Santos has studied the science of happiness and found that many of us do the exact opposite of what will truly make our lives better. Based on the psychology course she teaches at Yale -- the most popular class in the university’s 300-year history -- Laurie will take you through the latest scientific research and share some surprising and inspiring stories that will change the way you think about happiness.

Credible and enjoyable happiness podcast
14 Sept
A kind podcast excellently delivered by Laurie and one which I like to listen to when enjoying downtime with a cup of coffee. I’m English, listening from the UK and sometimes I have to rewind to hear and understand a sentence which was said too quickly for me. The content is excellent but the diction can be unclear for me. That said, I love the friendly tone, and science-based evidence- it makes the content both engaging and credible. I feel very part of a welcoming community here. Thank you.
Great podcast

I always feel better after listening to this podcast and love the actionable evidence based insights. Always great guests related to each topic.
Slow burn

Some podcasts grab you instantly and you want to listen to all of them. Others creep up on you, and The Happiness Lab is one of them. I initially thought this would be more like this self-help business books which take one shaky observation and turn it into a three-part list of acronyms. But Tim Harford recommended it so I gave it a go. And how wrong I was. This is an accessible, scientifically rigorous exposition of some fascinating work on psychology. It helps that Laurie Santos is a great host and the production values are very high. Get it in your feed and give it a go.
Very useful podcast

Can’t thank Laurie Santos enough as her course The Science of Wellbeing changed my thinking. Both the course and this podcast are super helpful. I also found two other very good podcasts by listening to her as Laurie often has very good guests 😊
