199. You're more resilient than you think, featuring Daniel Gilbert

Recently we’ve been talking about mindset and the idea of happiness, which is the perfect topic as we wrap up the year. Today, Harvard psychology professor and happiness expert Daniel Gilbert will share his insights on how happiness can be created and expected, rather than stumbled upon. He explains why you (and your kids) could be happier than you think, even when things don’t go as planned. And who wouldn’t want to tap into that superpower??

Watch the full clip here, and check out Daniel’s book, Stumbling on Happiness.
