Hey, happiness lab listeners.
I hope you're doing the best you can to stay physically and mentally healthy during the time of COVID-19.
For today's episode, I wanted to switch it up a bit.
And so I partnered with one of my favorite behavioral scientists, Dr.
Katie Milkman from Wharton Business School.
You may remember Katie from one of our New Year's episodes where we focused on the fresh start effect.
But Katie also hosts a fantastic podcast called Choiceology,
which is all about the ways our minds lead us astray during decision-making.
Katie wanted me to be a guest on Choiceology so that we could chat about strategies
for protecting our collective well-being during this challenging time.
This was a bit of a change for me, since, as you know, I'm usually the one asking the questions.
And so I decided to share that episode with you.
I hope you enjoy it.
Lori, thank you so much for joining me.
I really appreciate it.
Thanks so much.
I mean, this is important stuff to be talking about today.
I actually wanted to start by asking
if you could tell me a little bit about what originally inspired you to create a course on the science of happiness.
