23 分钟NYT Opinion columnist David Brooks shares how to communicate so that others feel seen, heard, and understood.
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, she's 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.
Through communication, we have the ability to connect and truly see others.
My name is Matt Abrahams and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
