From The Happiness Lab with Dr. Laurie Santos | Being Here Now with Tony Hale
About this episode
<p>We're sharing a preview of another podcast we love, The Happiness Lab. On The Happiness Lab, Dr. Laurie Santos explores all the ways we get our happiness wrong and what we can to do really feel better. She walks through the latest evidence-based strategies for improving your mental health, sharing practical advice on what will really bring more joy. In her latest New Year season of The Happiness Lab, Laurie tackles how to listen to the inner voice of what we really need in the new year. We're often looking into the future... hunting for the "next big thing." We can get so fixated with these events and the happiness we hope they'll deliver, that we forget to look for joy right now.</p> <p>Actor and author Tony Hale (<em>Veep, The Mysterious Benedict Society, Arrested Development</em>) joins Laurie to discuss how he was always chasing new accomplishments, until he realized he was missing the chance to be happy living in the moment.</p> <p>You can hear more from The Happiness Lab at https://podcasts.pushkin.fm/thls6?sid=tph/.</p>
