This is the Eden Island Show. All right, welcome back to the show, everybody. So I have to tell you, you know, I have a small circle of friends that are my closest friends. And when this man was on the show the last time, they never call me and say, hey, great show. Like I'm begging for compliments from these guys all the time.

And uh, so I've done 800 episodes. I think they've called me three times. And when this man was on, I got calls from every single one of them. And so they're all going to be very excited that he's back. And I'm excited that he's back.

My guest today is Arthur Brooks, you guys. I don't know how to describe him. I think he's like the most interesting man in the world candidate. I guess he's a, I call him, I don't know, a happiness meaning, human, flourishing guru of sorts. But his work kind of crosses over with neuroscience.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
