YGTG: From The Happiness Lab: The Secret to Making Friends as an Adult

Published: Sept. 27, 2022, 5 a.m.

Here\u2019s a special preview of the new season of The Happiness Lab for the YGTG for this month! \xa0You might think you know what it takes to lead a happier life\u2026 more money, a better job, or Instagram-worthy vacations. You\u2019re 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.

She\u2019ll take you through the latest scientific research and share some surprising and inspiring stories that will change the way you think about happiness. In the preview you\u2019re about to hear, Laurie is joined by the US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to talk about a massive public health crisis that has touched nearly all of us at some time or another: loneliness. Loneliness is a far more common and far more serious problem than we think. If we're feeling lonely, what can we do? As you'll hear in this preview, we need to build out our social connections.
