This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. Pushkin. Hey Happiness Lab listeners. We're taking a break from our happiness hot take series to bring you a special treat.

If you listen to last week's episode You know that I recently got to interview happiness historian Darren McMahon. Who told me all about the history of the idea of the pursuit of happiness? Well in this episode, I'll be continuing my conversation with Darren, but this time he'll be interviewing me. You'll get to hear a live conversation that we had at Darren's home institution of Dartmouth College.

As part of the Nelson A. Rockefeller Center at Dartmouth's Public Conversations on the Pursuit of Happiness, we talked about all things happiness science. Like what practices we can do to really feel better. And some thoughts I've had about new technologies and AI. It was a wide ranging and super fun conversation. So I couldn't wait to share it with all my podcast fans.
