    John dives into Scottie Scheffler winning again, this time at The Travelers and becomes the first golfer to have six wins in a single season before July since Arnold Palmer did so in 1962. Later, John dives into LIV and how even though people aren't watching their events, they seem to understand what they are and are doing a good job by embracing the "party" style of golf during their events, and did the PGA make an exemption that could allow us to see Tiger play in more events.

    Follow the show: The Happiness Lab with Dr. Laurie Santos
    Awe reduces stress, helps us forget our minor worries and makes us feel more connected to the people around us. We all need more awe in our lives - but surely it's not that easy to find awesome experiences on your average Tuesday?
    Actor Tony Hale explains how everyday awe helps ease his anxieties, while UC Berkeley's Dacher Keltner shows us how to find awe in music, art, scenery... even in a walk around our block. And Dr Laurie explores the things that give her a sense of awe with the help of Mike Menzel - who built a space telescope that lets us see billions of years into the past.
