The Science of Happiness, Love & Human Connection with Professor Sonja Lyubomirsky #683

Before we get into this week's episode, I am really excited to share that I am bringing my Thrive Tour, Transform Your Health and Happiness, to Canada and Europe this September and November. It's a live, interactive, uplifting show that over 20,000 people came to last year across the UK and Australia. I'll be sharing powerful stories, life-changing insights, and simple tools that will inspire you to feel better, think clearer, and live with more intention and joy. To get your tickets right now and see all of the dates and venues, go to drchrattergy.com forward slash live. I really hope that you can join me.

It's not necessarily that success leads to happiness, it's that happiness leads to success. When you are a happy person, your thoughts are flexible, your immune system is stronger, you're more likely to approach others, you're more confident, you're more optimistic, and all of those things can become self-fulfilling prophecies. When you feel better, you do better. Hey guys, how are you doing? Hope you're having a good week so far.

My name is Dr. Rongan Chatterjee and this is my podcast, Feel Better, Live More. If you can't shake the idea that happiness lies just around the corner, that you'll be happy when you achieve X, Y, or Z, then this week's episode is for you. Sonja Lubomirsky is distinguished professor of psychology at the University of California Riverside and the author of several best-selling books on happiness.
