Feel Better, Live More with Sonja Lyubomirsky · Published · 1h 59m
Key takeaway
Today, create one 15-minute conversation that goes beyond small talk. Start with genuine curiosity: ask someone a meaningful question, share an honest answer of your own, and listen to understand rather than prepare a response. This sequence can make both people feel seen and loved - an experience Sonja Lyubomirsky argues sits at the heart of durable happiness. Do not wait to feel more lovable or for someone else to go first; change the next conversation you have.
Episode overview
Happiness researcher Sonja Lyubomirsky explains why external achievements and possessions rarely create lasting contentment, and why connection, contribution, and personal growth matter more. Drawing on decades of research and her book with relationship scientist Harry Reis, she argues that feeling loved - not merely being loved - is central to happiness. The conversation explores five mindsets for creating deeper, more accepting relationships.
