The Science of a Meaningful Life with Jason Marsh

The Science of a Meaningful Life with Jason Marsh

Intuition and personal insight can be powerful tools for determining our individual paths toward well being. But sometimes it's nice to refer to some good, old fashioned empirical evidence, and check in with what the research has to say about a given question! On this episode Dr. Hanson and Forrest are joined by Jason Marsh, the founding editor-in-chief of Greater Good Magazine, published by the Greater Good Science Center. Together they explore key, research-based insights into living a meaningful life. If you would like to receive the GGSC's newsletter, you can sign-up for it here!
