Psychology and the Good Life-Laurie Santos on The Doctor's Farmacy

Mark Hyman's podcast, The Doctor's Farmacy, featured Laurie Santos, Professor of Psychology, and the Head of Silliman College at Yale University. Dr. Santos is the host of the critically acclaimed podcast, The Happiness Lab, and the faculty member who developed "Psychology and the Good Life," the most popular course in Yale's history.

In her interview, she covers a lot of ground, including the Easterlin Paradox, Hygge, the importance of surrounding oneself with positive people, being present, gratitude, altruism, social connection, the dark side (and addictive nature) of social media, and a whole lot more.

If you'd like more, watch her talk from the Aspen Institute, subscribe to her podcast, The Happiness Lab, or take her course on Coursera. Enjoy!
