How do you become happier?
Professor Arthur Brooks describes 3 “macronutrients” for a happier life: enjoyment, satisfaction and meaning. Rather than chasing positive feelings, the idea is to build more of each into our everyday lives.
We get into some really practical ways to do this, including:
• Why being bored is good for your brain
• The three times to put your phone away each day
• How to make your downtime more meaningful
• How to find more meaning through love, awe and spirituality
