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.
Communication is about risk taking many of us are held back by our fears and concerns about what might happen.
Today, we'll explore having a bias for action and being direct and immediate with our audiences.
I'm Matt Abrahams and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Welcome to think fast, talk smart, the podcast.
Today, I am super excited to chat with Dan Pink.
Dan is the author of five New York Times bestsellers, including his latest, the power of how looking backward moves us forward.
Early in his career, Dan served as a political speechwriter, including being chief speechwriter to vice president Al Gore.
Welcome, Dan.
I am so looking forward to our conversation, Matt.
It is great to be here.
A longtime listener, first time guest.
Thank you.
There's so many things that I want to talk about.
I just want to jump right in.
