Happiness isn\u2019t solely our positive states, we learn from Science Director Dr.Emiliana Simon-Thomas. It\u2019s feeling content within our whole human experience, which of course, includes emotions like grief and sadness. What\u2019s the most enduring way to cultivate it? Her research continually leads to the same destination: Connection.  \u2018We often measure life satisfaction by asking: Have I been successful enough? When the real question is: Who am I in relationship to other people?\u2019  We explore this question in our conversation; Examining it through the lens of meaning and belonging, compassion and forgiveness. The Science of Happiness course is free and an inspiring journey to embark on. Consider beginning with Dr.Simon-Thomas\u2019 episode and taking the class with a loved one.
