Hidden Brain

Where Happiness Hides

We all think we know what will make us happy: more money. A better job. Love. But psychologist <a href="https://profiles.ucr.edu/app/home/profile/sonja">Sonja Lyubomirsky</a> says happiness doesn't necessarily work like that. This week, we explore why happiness often slips through our fingers, and how to savor — and stretch out — our joys.

Why do I feel stuck? How can I become more creative? What can I do to improve my relationships? If you’ve ever asked yourself these questions, you’re not alone. On Hidden Brain, we help you understand your own mind — and the minds of the people around you. (We're routinely rated the #1 science podcast in the United States.) Hosted by veteran science journalist Shankar Vedantam.
