24 分钟You're listening to How to Be a Better Human.
I'm your host, Chris Duffy.
On this show, I have spent the past five years interviewing writers,
scientists, and all sorts of experts.
And increasingly, I've come to believe that if you want to be a better human,
if you want to treat other people better and to live a good life,
well, one of the most important things you can do is cultivate a good sense of humor.
The world desperately needs more people who are able to laugh at their own shortcomings.
to notice absurdity and to connect with others over a shared delight.
And the great news is that we can find humor even in the most unlikely places and situations.
So today on the show,
we've got a compilation of moments from interviews in the past on our podcast that got deeper into this idea.
The more that you are present and attentive to the things that bring you joy,
the times when you are unexpectedly delighted and the conversations and people who leave you giggling and giddy.
the more that you'll find that you can really unearth humor anywhere,
even in the supposed seriousness and hushed reverence of a silent meditation.
Here's a snippet of my conversation with Dan Harris,
host of the podcast 10% Happier,
