On Happiness and a Life of Meaning

Psychology often focuses on what’s wrong, but in this episode, we’ll focus on what’s right! My guest, Dr. John Sommers-Flanagan, is an expert on the topic of “evidence-based happiness.” Join us in a meaningful conversation on the age old question - what is happiness, and how can I get more of it? Some topics covered include the harms of over-labeling, the practice of gratitude, the “three good things” strategy, mindfulness, “savoring,” using positive distractions, and changing unhelpful thinking patterns, plus more!
