The Science of Happiness

Laurie Santos & Sam Harris

In this conversation, Sam and Laurie Santos get into what science has shown us about the causes and conditions of happiness. They talk about the role of expectations and the experiencing self versus the remembering self, framing effects and the importance of social connections, the effect of focusing on the happiness of others as opposed to one's own, and much more.
