  • Maybe the best podcast

    Love the work Arthur Brooks is doing. My wife discovered him with the book he co-wrote with Oprah and we’ve been closely following and trying to implement his work ever since. Can’t recommend enough what he’s teaching and sharing.

  • Let’s get some experts on here!

    It’s a great show so far but I hope you plan to interview mental health experts who can speak from experience but just research. I think a lot of your tips don’t always play out the way you think in the therapy office and hearing from therapists could bring your lessons to life.

    I’ve been a fan of Arthur since his AEI days. I think the work he’s doing is tremendously important, and I was very sad when his previous podcast “Art of Happiness” ended, but I’m ecstatic to see him back. My book club will be reading Happiness Files before year’s end, and I just can’t wait. 6 out of 5 stars!!

  • Arthur always brings it!

    This podcast is always interesting, never predictable and mixes up topics well week-to-week. It’s the only podcast I’ve listened to more than one episode of in many years. As an investment professional I must say the returns he quotes in Episode 2 are incorrect.
