17 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.
Imagine a professor twirling onto the stage wearing a cape and eating a banana sideways like you would eat corn on the cobbler.
That was my first introduction to my guest today.
This curious and confusing first impression was in direct conflict with the many insightful and motivational lessons I and my fellow students would come to learn.
Hello, I'm Matt Abrahams and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Welcome to think fast, talk smart, the podcast.
I am incredibly excited and honored to chat with Philip Zimbardo, my former teacher and mentor.
Doctor Z, as we call him, is a professor emeritus of psychology at Stanford.
Beyond being an incredibly popular professor, Doctor Z was the host of the PBS documentary discovering psychology and the author of many books, including the Lucifer Effect, the Time Paradox, and his latest, my life revealed.
Doctor Z spends a lot of time with his philanthropic organization, the Hero Imagination Project.
Welcome Doctor Z.
Thanks for being here.
I am super excited to reconnect with you and once again learn from you.
Thank you Matt for inviting me.
I'm excited to share my ideas with you and your ever expanding audience.
