We often follow a misguided formula for happiness—pushing us toward
material wealth and other worldly successes. But when our
expectations set us down the wrong path, it may be time to reorient
ourselves around something new: universal happiness principles we
can practice at any age. In our finale episode of this
season, a conversation with psychiatrist Robert Waldinger provides
a scientific insight into key elements for happy living, whatever
your age. This episode was produced by Rebecca Rashid and is
hosted by Arthur Brooks. Editing by A.C. Valdez and Claudine Ebeid.
