18 分钟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, shes 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.
We all know that a good story can move us, make us feel something, teach us something, help us be better at something.
But can a story literally move us, that is, get us to move and be healthy?
Today we'll learn the answer to this question and many other best practices for what makes a good story.
I'm Matt Abrahams and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Welcome to think fast, talk Smart, the podcast we are so lucky today to be joined by Paula Moya.

Welcome Paula.
I am so eager to work with you.
Thank you, Matt.
