  • Hi, NSQ listeners.

  • We're off this week, so we're bringing you something special from the NSQ archive.

  • It's a conversation between Angela and fellow psychologist Lori Santos, who hosts a podcast called the Happiness Lab.

  • We originally published this episode back in 2021, but we think its themes are as relevant as ever as we ring in 2024.

  • Wishing you a happy new year, and we'll be back next week with a brand new episode.

  • Thank the Lord that you're here.

  • I'm Angela Duckworth.

  • I'm Lori Santos, and you're listening to.

  • No stupid questions today on the show.

  • Why do we mirror the accents and mannerisms of the people we meet?

  • Monkey a observes.

  • Monkey B, do something different with a banana.

  • I don't know if that's stereotyping.

  • They do like bananas.

  • Totally true.

  • Also, why can happiness seem so elusive even when things are going well?

  • Holy shmoly.

  • This is the best life I could possibly living.

  • Why am I not a ten out of ten on happiness?

  • I think you have the first question for me.
