Happiness, high achievement, or kindness – which is most important to you in your kids? Which do you think your kids think you care about the most? Richard Weissbourd is a psychologist, the senior lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and the director of the Making Caring Common Project. Richard joins Chris to discuss the challenges facing American parents which he raised in his book, The Parents We Mean to Be. Rick also explains how parents can overcome their own shame, the importance of teaching kids to recognize others' emotions, and how acts of service can strengthen relationships.

  • You might not have the International Day of Happiness marked on your calendar,

  • but it's a pretty big deal.

  • For those of us who study the science of happiness,

  • International Day of Happiness also marks the release of the World happiness report.

  • I'm Dr. Laurie Santos and on my podcast, the Happiness Lab,

  • I'll be bringing you the latest data on why eating alone might be worse for you than you think.

  • And I'll also be asking if we're becoming less trusting and what that means for our well being.

  • Listen to the Happiness Lab.

  • Wherever you get your podcasts.

  • You're listening to how to be a Better Human.

  • I'm your host, Chris Duffy.

  • Today on the show, we're talking about what it takes to cultivate kindness and morality,

  • both in yourself and in your children, if you have them.

  • Our guest is Rick Weisbord, a professor at Harvard's Graduate School of Education.

  • And I've known Rick for several years now.

  • I first met Rick when I was living in Boston in the first year after I'd left my job teaching at an elementary school and was transitioning into doing comedy full time.

  • That year I was taking a bunch of random jobs, part time gigs,

  • side jobs to supplement my income because I wasn't making that much doing comedy.

  • And by far the best side job that I got

  • that year was helping Rick and his team at the Making Caring Common Project out with this video series.
