Happier-ness with author Arthur Brooks

About this episode

You’ll never achieve perfect happiness. This might sound like bad news, but it’s actually a good thing. Because being happy is not a final destination, it’s an ongoing practice. In short, it’s happier-ness. That’s a term Arthur Brooks and Oprah Winfrey coined in their new book “Build the Life You Want” where together they lay out a blueprint for a better life. And they would know: Arthur has studied the science of happiness for over 25 years, and I have never had a conversation with him that I haven’t left with a life-changing perspective on what it means to live a meaningful life.  This conversation was no different. This… is a Bit of Optimism. For more on Arthur and his work check out:  https://www.amazon.com/Build-Life-You-Want-Science/dp/0593545400 arthurbrooks.com 2
