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.
Nothing is more engaging and enjoyable than being in the moment today.
Join us as we discuss how to get into the flow my name is Matt Abrahams and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Welcome to think fast, talk smart, the.
Podcast David Melnikoff is an assistant professor of organizational behavior at Stanford GSB.
He investigates how people pursue and achieve their goals, especially with a focus on flow.
Welcome David.
I'm really excited for our conversation.
Thanks for having me.
In my early studies in managing anxiety around public speaking, I learned about the concept of flow.
You've looked deeply into flow.
I'm wondering though, for our listeners who might not be familiar with it, can you share a bit about what flow is and what the benefits of flow are?
Sure.
Flow is the state of being completely immersed and engaged in what you're doing.
Normally when we pursue a goal, we imagine something that's tedious, tiresome.
