  • Hi Matt here.

  • If you want to continue finding tools to a successful and happy life, I recommend listening to the happiness lab hosted by Yale professor Doctor Lori Santos.

  • Doctor Santos has studied the science of happiness and has found that many of us do the exact opposite of what will make our lives better.

  • Based on the psychology course she teaches at Yale, she will take you through the latest scientific research and share some surprising stories that will change the way you think about happiness.

  • This season, she's tackling topics that affect her own life, like stress, perfectionism, and boredom.

  • If you struggle with any of those, or if it sounds like you could learn more about increasing happiness in your life, then listen to the happiness lab right here in your podcast player.

  • The very first class I ever took in college was an economics class.

  • I learned so much and I learned how little I knew about economics.

  • Today, I look forward to continuing that education.

  • I'm Matt Abrahams and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.

  • Welcome to Think Fast Talk Smart, the podcast.

  • Today I'm excited to be joined by Paul Oyer.

  • He is the Mary and Rankin Anda entrepreneurial professor and professor of economics.

  • Additionally, Paul is senior associate dean for academic affairs at the GSB.

  • He studies the economics of organizations and human resource practices.

  • Paul also has a unique research approach.

  • He drove for Uber, studied online dating, and he explores the sports world.

  • In his newest book, an economist goes to the how to throw away $580 million and other surprising insights from the economics of sports.

  • Hey Paul, welcome to the podcast.

  • I am super excited to have you here.
