  • 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.

  • Think back to a time where you were so engrossed by a story you were hearing that you lost track of time.

  • You were just listening, learning and experiencing new things.

  • This happened to me just yesterday as I was listening in to David Eagleman's new podcast, Inner Cosmos with David Eagleman.

  • Now, David is a friend, a colleague, and a former guest on this podcast, think fast, talk smart.

  • And it reminded me of all the excellent advice David gave that discussed how our brains are actually wired for story.

  • So I invite you to sit back and listen in as David and I discuss the neuroscience of storytelling.

  • And I invite you to listen to his new podcast, Inner Cosmos.

  • The professor in the very first communication class I ever took started by saying, communication is very simple.

  • You just need to get what's in your brain into the brain of someone else.

  • And Wally was right that brains are definitely involved.

  • There is nothing simple about it.

  • Today we'll hear from a world renowned neuroscientist who will provide insights into how our brains help us communicate with each other.

  • Hello, I'm Matt Abrahams and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
