Erica joins this week’s podcast, and we discuss the economics of happiness and what research shows will and won’t make you happier. We share the macronutrients of happiness, according to David Brooks and Oprah, and how we should be striving to be happier versus a fixed ideal nirvana state of happiness. We talk through each of the factors that can have a meaningful influence on our happiness, and, just as importantly, what doesn’t correlate to our happiness.
