Dr. Laurie Santos hosts The Happiness Lab, a podcast that challenges common misconceptions about what leads to genuine happiness and wellbeing. Drawing from the psychology course she teaches at Yale University—the most popular class in the institution’s 300-year history—Santos explores cutting-edge scientific research on happiness and shares surprising, inspiring stories that reshape how listeners understand what truly matters for a fulfilling life. The podcast debunks popular myths about happiness, revealing that neither money, prestigious jobs, nor picture-perfect vacations are the keys to wellbeing that many people believe them to be. Through evidence-based insights and engaging storytelling, Santos guides listeners toward more authentic and sustainable approaches to happiness. Produced by Pushkin Industries, The Happiness Lab offers practical wisdom grounded in rigorous academic research, making complex psychological concepts accessible to a broad audience seeking meaningful change in their lives.
