About this episode
Happiness isn't just something you feel — it's a skill you can practice. Neuroscientist Richard Davidson kicks things off with research showing that flourishing can be trained in as little as five minutes a day. Then, in the second half, psychologist Dacher Keltner explores how everyday moments of awe can quietly transform your well-being from the inside out.
