Hello, hello, hello.
Let's get started.
If you're a fan of the Happiness Lab, you probably know the show's origin story.
As a college professor,
I started worrying about the levels of stress and anxiety I was seeing in my students.
Welcome everybody.
to psychology and the good life.
So I developed a class on the science of happiness.
So we're going to start by talking about why I'm teaching this class in the first place.
A course designed to teach my students research-based strategies that they could use to navigate tough times,
improve their emotional health, and feel happier.
It became Yale's most popular class ever.
I'm a little bit surprised to see as many of you are here as are here, but that's great.
It is now offered both free online and at other universities around the world.
And the science shows that learning these happiness strategies really does help.
Several new studies have found that students who learn the tips I teach show significant improvements in their overall well-being.
But there is one thing about learning all these happiness tips that makes my students feel a little frustrated.
I'm so thankful to have learned all these helpful strategies a student will always say,
but I really, really wish I had learned this stuff earlier.
