Are single people happier than those in relationships? It's complicated

We often hear that finding “the one” is the secret to happiness. But singledom is on the rise worldwide, leaving us to rethink what we know about coupling up. In today’s episode, we look at how both romantic relationships and being single affect our well-being. Garvia talks with Professor Yuthika Girme, a relationship and singlehood scientist who leads the Secure Research Lab at Simon Fraser University. She shares what the research says about happiness for singles and couples, how social pressure influences our love lives, and what really helps us feel happy, whether we have a partner or not.

Is resiliency personality or practice?

We’ve all heard the saying, “What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.” But is it really true? In today’s episode, we explore resilience and how bouncing back from setbacks is a key to a happier life. To help us understand how we handle adversity, Garvia talks with Jenny Liu, Head of Scientific Development and Knowledge Mobilization at MacDonald Franklin OSI Research and Innovation Centre, which focuses on military and veteran mental health. They discuss what resilience means, whether it’s a skill or a trait, and why many of us are more resilient than we realize. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The joy of feeling small: Why awe makes us happier

What happens when we stop rushing around and pause to take in the vastness of the world around us? In this episode of Happy Enough, we explore awe — the emotion that can make you feel surprisingly small, and, at the same time, happier. To break down the science behind awe and why it makes us feel better, Garvia speaks with Dacher Keltner, professor of psychology at UC Berkeley and the author of ‘Awe: The new science of everyday wonder and how it can transform your life’. They discuss how awe affects our bodies and simple ways to incorporate it into our lives. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

She left school to buy a laundromat: The appeal of ‘boring businesses’

Adulthood is a never-ending parade of chores. Clothes to clean, cars to wash, appliances to fix. Businesses that serve these needs, like laundromats, car washes, and vending machines, are honestly a bit, well, boring. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t making good money. And financially savvy Canadians are taking note. This week, we’ll hear from two 20-somethings who bought so-called “boring” businesses from boomers looking to retire. Then, The Globe’s new personal finance reporter, Meera Raman, speaks with Blake Corey, a certified financial planner and the president of Venn Wealth Partners, about why some are drawn to these boring businesses and what people should consider before they buy in.

Some personal news: LinkedIn is weird now

Lately, LinkedIn has become cringe... or cool, or more important than ever, depending on who you ask. So, is LinkedIn working well for us, or has it devolved into yet another shouty social media site? Tim Kiladze is a Globe and Mail business reporter, Bay Street veteran and LinkedIn connoisseur. He wrote a compelling report on the evolution of LinkedIn: The tone has shifted to more performative “thought leadership,” the line between personal and professional has blurred – and now Bay Street executives are peacocking their post stats over lunch. But if you stay away from LinkedIn, are you sabotaging your career? Vass Bednar would like to connect. Accept/Reject? Subscribe to the Lately newsletter, where the Globe’s online culture reporter Samantha Edwards unpacks more of the latest in business and technology. Find the transcript of today’s episode here. We’d love to hear from you. Send your comments, questions or ideas to lately@globeandmail.com.
